In this time of lockdown, all we can do is dig out our old slides and share the glory days of past aviation decades. This selection is from London Stansted during 1989 - before the new terminal was built on the opposite side of the runway. Sunday afternoon & evening was a spot-fest of Scandinavian aviation hardware with up to a dozen charters due in from Sweden & Denmark each week.
ALE Heavylift performed a movement of an electrical transformer weighing in at around 230 tonnes from Stella (Blaydon) to Wallsend overnight from 15th August to 16th August. On arrival at Swan Hunters in Wallsend it's to be shipped by barge to Ellesmere Port where it will be put back on the road to be taken to its destination of Oldbury. Seen at the North End of the Tyne Tunnel at East Howdon, the convoy is seen waiting to continue along Hadrian Road to Wallsend. The move was powered by a pair of ALE Trojan 8870 trucks with BX64KSE at the front with BX65OAW powering from the rear.

XR362 Shorts Belfast C1 - belonging to 53 squadron. When demobbed, it became G-BEPE of HeavyLift at Southend. When Heavylift ceased trading 'Papa Echo' fell in to a somewhat state of dis-repair. It got a repreive in 2007 when it was decided that HeavyLift in Australia would use it. It got as far as 3 engines being installed, & run, to ready this for airworthy status. it was then deemed far to expensive, with the decision not to proceed. The incoming Southend Airport Manager ordered her for scrapping in 2008.
Built in 1964, XR365 was one of just ten airframes built by Short Brothers in Belfast. Most served with 53 Squadron based at RAF Brize Norton. Service life was cut short after UK Government defence spending cuts were announced and the fleet was retired prematurely in 1976.
XR365/G-HLFT was acquired by Heavylift based at London Stansted and was part of their fleet flying commercially for many years carrying outsize cargoes around the globe. They survived into the nineties but with the end of the Cold War and fierce competition, contracts became harder to acquire and competition was fierce thus Heavylift opted to wind up their operations in the UK on 13 September 2002 and G-HLFT was placed in storage at Southend in October 2002.
She moved to Australia in January 2003 registered now as 9L-LDQ flying for HeavyLift Cargo Airlines Pty. and then latterly as RP-C8020 before being grounded in January 2009. Offered for sale in 2011 there were no offers and I am led to believe the airframe remains at Cairns.
The MV HeavyLift Eagle in the Firth of Forth, Jan 2009. With an oil rig as cargo. Obviously, it uses that crane to load the rig onto the ship. WRONG! The ship takes on water so that it half sinks with only the stern and bows showing. Then the cargo slides into place over the submerged carrying area, the ship pumps out the water, gains more buoyancy, and voila. Presumably not done in a heavy sea.
View from outside the yard after the Jackup rig is being loaded our... The only place I could get a complete overall view with me digicam. If im not mistaken this is one of the Tallest Jacket ever built and loaded out vertically....
Was a fantastic job....

I last saw the ship known as the former HMAS Canberra take a final bow below the waves from the air. Somehow it seemed rather fitting that I would see the new HMAS Canberra in the air, from the water!
The lad and I, having watched mega ship videos for the last couple of years, could see one close up. We took Driftus, the yacht out to visit both the Jascon 25 that is in port and then the Blue Marlin, with nuship Canberra as cargo.
