Been doing some digging into Congolese airlines and came across African Express Airways, a Kenyan based Somali airline which still has a DC 9-31 operational on pax flights,

Would LOVE to see this aircraft.

Been doing some snooping in regards to Liverpool Airport and came across a cracking forum thread about 707s at the airport, with someone leaving links to a chaps Flickr albums at the airport with these 2 gorgeous images which would make for fantastic additions as specials.

Martinair,
