The Government of Qatar donated the aircraft to Pakistan in Feb-07. It was originally to be registered AP-GOP but that wasn't used and it became AP-OOI (001 !) operated by the Pakistan Air Force.
It was serialled J-757 in May-11. The aircraft was passed to PIA Pakistan International Airlines in May-13 and stored at Karachi where it was permanently retired and used as a spares source. The registration was cancelled in 2014.

Ahhh! DC-10!
Ex Laker Airways G-GFAL. BCA Charter & British Caledonian Charter, renamed Cal-Air International and later Novair International.
First flown by McDonnell Douglas in Dec-78 using the test registration N1002D, this aircraft was delivered to Laker Airways in Feb-79 as G-GFAL. Laker Airways ceased operations on 05-Feb-82 and the aircraft was repossessed by Mitsui Leasing.
The Rank Leisure Group and Thomson Holidays had a big summer charter programme with Laker Airways and were suddenly short of capacity. They entered into discussions with British Caledonian Airways and as a result B.Cal and Rank Leisure formed British Caledonian Charter with a 51%/49% holding.
The leases of 2 Laker DC-10-10's were transferred and British Caledonian took delivery of G-GFAL on 22-Feb-82 when it was re-registered G-BZJD. It was transferred to British Caledonian (Charter) Ltd on 01-Mar-82.
The company was renamed Cal Air International Airways in Oct-85. When B.Cal was taken over by British Airways, they didn't want Cal Air (they already had British Airtours which became Caledonian Airways Mk:2) and B.Cal's 51% was sold to the Rank Leisure Group.
Cal Air was renamed Novair International in Dec-88. Rank Leisure closed the company down at the end of Mar-90 (and I was out of a job!). The aircraft was initially stored at Prestwick, Scotland, and later, ferried to Waco, TX, USA in Nov-90 for continued storage.
It was sold to ILFC International Lease Finance Corporation in Nov-92 as N581LF and remained stored at Waco until Feb-94 when was converted into a freighter with a main-deck cargo door and leased to FedEx Federal Express as N10060 in Aug-94.
In Nov-08 it underwent the MD-10 conversion with the MD-11 'glass cockpit' and 2 crew operation. Sadly, this aircraft was finally retired in Jan-21 after an amazing 42 years in service. Updated 14-Sep-22.

The DH.84 Dragon was the forerunner of the DH.89A Dragon Rapide. G-ADDI was already an old lady when this photo was taken, having been built in May 1935 and operated by Railway Air Services.
It was impressed into the RAF in 1939 but wasn't allocated a serial. After the end of WWII it was sold to a private owner in 1946 and then sold to Air Charter Ltd in 1947. It was sold to Air Navigation & Trading in 1951 and spent a number of years doing pleasure flights around Blackpool Tower (I might even have flown round the Tower on it around 1958).
It was sold to Aero Enterprises Ltd in 1963 and was operated by Chrisair. As far as I know, it was 'sold in the USA' and registered N34DH in Feb-72 and flown to Rotterdam, Netherlands for shipping to the USA.
According to what I've read it was still flying as late as mid 2011 and is preserved at the Perlitch Transportation Museum, Morgan Hill, California. Updated (Dec-19).

Delivered new to United Airlines as N6325C in Jan-55. It was in service with United for just over 5 years and was traded in to the Douglas Aircraft Company in Apr-60.
The aircraft was stored and sold to California Airmotive in Sep-63. It continued in storage until May-64 when it was sold to TAS SA Transportes Aereos (Trabajos Aereos del Sahara SA) with the temporary registration EC-WVP, becoming EC-AVP later the same month.
TASSA ceased trading in Jul-65 and the aircraft was stored at Palma, Majorca, with the rest of the TASsa fleet. It was broken up there in 1970.
Note: This photo was taken about 3 months after TASSA had ceased operations and the aircraft would never fly again (just as well with all that FOD on the ramp!). If you look under the aircraft, along the line of props 1 & 2, you can see that props 3 & 4 are feathered.
