I think this one qualifies as a good excuse to dig this shot out.... Taken at Nyíregyháza in Hungary where the aircraft are used for spares to keep other AN-2's going

Taken at dawn at Dushanbe Airport, Tajikistan in 2005... it was quite odd watching passengers get into another one parked opposite this one that had crashed at the airfield a few months previous!

Errrmmm...............that's military !

I'll offer this one, the former Olympic B747 SX-OADin a rather neglected state at Bruntingthorpe taken at the CWJ day in May 2009, most of the ASDA scheme had gone by then and even the tug look like it had seen far better days, and as for the steps- no good boarding passengers when the engines have been long gone!

G-BEJD the morning after arriving on the back of a lorry from Blackpool. This was taken on my iPhone. I flew on this HS748 whilst working at Dan Air. Sorry to see it in this state but she is at a good home and will be looked after now
