Comment / After landing for the very last time at Manchester on 27th October 2001, the forward fuselage of Monarch's sole DC-10, G-DMCA, is now on display in the Aviation Viewing Park serving as both an exhibit and an interactive classroom.

Comment / Omni's Douglas DC-10 N522AX passed through Stansted earlier this afternoon, arriving from Salt Lake City before departing again about an hour and 20 minutes later. Great to see a DC-10 again at Stansted - N522AX is a relatively new aircraft for Omni, joining the carrier six months ago from Northwest Airlines. She was originally delivered on 30th March 1988 as JA8550 to Japan Air System, and has also spent three years flying with Harlequin Air. She's seen here lining up for her departure on runway 05.
