Great shots Montague,

i have to say the Midex A300 freighters look great, given that these once flew in our skies as vh-tad and vh-tae, i cant believe how clean and well maintained they look....long live the A300's

I agree Sarah, just found some of my old photos of the 747SP in better days when it was flying to Sydney in MANDARIN AIRLINES livery.

the SP is still flyable if it had a little TLC, though I do think it will end up being chopped in the near future.

Fantastic photos Montague
I love the old Russians, i have never seen or noticed the window in the back of the IL-76 before what a great view for landing and taking off
but the thought of the SP getting the chop makes me sad but i guess thats life

Top shots Monty ; thanks for sharing.

It's so dry there I thought I was in Perth but the great aircraft told me otherwise.
