McDonnell Douglas Photos Location?

And are all of these yours?? I would honestly try and get them in digital if I was you. I focus on more their civil side of MD. However, those must be really rare to have.

MOST of the following negatives and photos, from my holdings of the former Chris Ashworth aero negative and aero photo print collections, (mostly British Commonwealth photos) are of these aircraft at bases and in operation all over the UK. but a fair number of everywhere else, from US to Turkish and other Air forces too. Each box has approx 1400 negatives or photos. Approx number of negatives/ptints for each model are in parentheses. Here are McDonnell/McDonnell Douglas aircraft from the 43 page, general index.
There are some 120,000 negatives and 30,000 prints in just the Ashworth collections.

Hi WH904,

Could you be more specific please?

You could try Boeing… if you’re rich 🙂

Thank you for your information 🙂 I am going to Spain in June and hope to see some MDD aircraft at Palma too.

Also, does any of you know if any land at Palma airport in Spain? Going there in June.

Thank you for telling me that! That is some of the places I will think of going.

So that is why I want to attempt to get some good shots of them.

Three operators regularly operate MD11F’s into Stansted. At least one FedEx example can be seen every day, at present. Martinair and Nordic Global visit several times a week. FedEx still operate the first MD11 built, it was at Stansted on Thursday.

That’s what upsets me quite a bit…that all the MD aircraft have faded away.

My apology for mis-understanding your original question so totally.

The answer is that visits by MDD airliners to Britain are now few and far between. DC-8, DC-9 and DC-10 are rare, indeed the DC-9 and DC-10 highly unlikely to appear again. MD-11 again rare, the Lufthansa freighter into Manchester is now operated by Boeing 777 aircraft. East Midlands might be your best bet, although DC-8 and DC-10 freighters have largely (totally?) been replaced by other types over the past couple of years. Any stored DC-8s at Lasham or Southend still?

Which MD-80 series operators still bring their aircraft into the likes of Manchester, Stansted or Birmingham, perhaps others may have knowledge of? Certainly I have seen Bulgarian and Spanish operated MD-83 aircraft at Liverpool on European football charters this winter, but nothing regular or expected.

An interesting question, that clearly highlights how DC and MD aircraft types have faded away rapidly over the past couple of years and how ‘historic’ they are becoming.

Sounds like you want to actually photograph in-service MDD airliners….ask in the Commercial Aviation Photographic section where it can be done these days?

Hi Sabrejet,

Thanks for your reply. If they have any of the civil makings of MD aircraft that would be great. I have posted some of the ones I want to take pictures of. Hope it helps.

Hi viscount,

I am looking for the following to take photos of:

MD-90
MD-88
DC-10
MD-11
MD-80
DC-9
DC-8
MD-95

If any of these are knocking around the UK still in service or anything please let me know. I know Delta still use them but I don’t know if they will bring them over to the UK. Thank you.

RAF Museum would be my first choice.

Google is a lazy option, but it depends on how serious you are about your research!

A simple question but a little to broad. All MDD aircraft types, or just Phantom, Eagle, MD-80 series or even MDH types etc etc?

There are vast number of images to be found easily Googleable on the web, or are you after purchasing prints?

If it is particular aircraft type, serial, operator, unit, location you are after then members here will try hard to help, but as asked here it way to vague for a satisfactory response. Yes I could go to considerable effort to digitise, clean and post several hundred photos, only to find that I did not cover what you wanted, or maybe had already been discovered by Googling with the right combination of key words.

Sorry to sound negative, but if you read around other posts, the more specific the question, the more likely you are to get really positive responses.

Some Phantoms have been spotted amongst these in the NAM Shop http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/New_Photos
