Preserved airliners are great; there should be more of them. But, what we really want to see is not a re-painted, highly polished, cherished machine. We want the real thing, often complete with dents and dirt, at work in its proper environment; the freight ramps and secondary airports of the world.

That’s what you get on this DVD, with its great collection of hard-working jetliners that once were the stars of air travel in the 60s and 70s, including:

• DC8s and 727s at Miami
• 707s at Sharjah
• IL62s at Istanbul
• 727s and DC9s at Caracas
• Flight on a LADE 707
• Passenger 727s
• MK and AIA DC8s
• Qinetiq BAC 1-11
• 737-200s and DC9s at Buenos Aires
• DC9s and 737-200s at Manila
