De Havilland Tiger Moth,G-AOEL the greatest British built training aircraft. This aircraft was once a part of the Strathallan Aircraft Collection. |

More curves than Marylin Munro, is how to sum up this aircraft, a night fighter version of the Gloster meteor, used for many years by the Edinburgh based Ferranti Group, now absorbed into the British Aerospace Company. G-ARCX Meteor. |

Duncan Logan, used this aircraft as the backbone of his fledgeling company Loganair. This Beechcraft 18 G-ASUG, was a very familiar sight at the airports of Western Scotland. A friend of mine has the distinction of being the last passenger to throw-up in this aircraft. It is said that the undersides of Loganair aircraft were painted black so the cow and sheep poos would not be too obvious. |

The Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer, G-BBVF. Built at Prestwick, this aircraft had a very good short take off and landing capability. This aircraft was operated by Flight One, for aerial surveys. |

A view of the belly of the Twin Pin. If you look closely you will see two large sliding panels along the centre line and one off set. The aerial cameras were mounted behind these panels, which were slid open when it was time to take the photographs. |

This De Havilland Comet, G-BDIX, served with the RAF as a troop ship before joining the extensive Comet fleet of Dan-Air London. There is still a soft spot for the "Dan Dare vomets"amongst the wrinkly spotters. |

This is a french built version of the famous Focke Wulf Storch, going by the name of Criquet (Cricket) You get a good view of the large struts for the undercarriage and wings. G-BIRW |

Concorde G-BOAA, The Great Hope. The aircraft in the main museum hangar were cleared away to make way for what is hoped will be the salvation of the Museum of Flight. At the time that this photograph was taken, the public access consisted of two large perspex windows in a wooden partition wall. I set my camera on the tripod, set the self-timer, set the lens wide, lifted the tripod up and hoped for the best; it almost worked. |
 |
This aircraft is a rarity in two ways. It was originally built by Handley Page before Scottish Aviation took over the production of the Jetstream and this aircraft is the prototype of the Jetstream 31, G-JSSD |

The Blackburn Brick. I have never seen an aircraft more solidly built than the Buccaneer. Buccaneer S.2B, XT288 |
