Nearly 30 years ago we went to stay with friends in Cayman, departing Gatwick for Miami on New Year's Day 1993. My first flight on a Lockheed Tristar with Delta and a very nice ride it was too.

It was late afternoon, both ways, when we caught our transit flight to/from Cayman, and on both occasions the light was fading fast. So not the best quality photos, and all were taken through glass. We were on the American Airlines pier, so their aircraft were the main feature.

The two Agro Air KC-97's were stored by then, and some way away. Also just visible between them is their 3rd example, still in basic USAF colours, registered N8540D.

Cayman Airways had three colourful 737s, and the plain one we got! Humph!

And while I was drooling over old Boeing 727 slides, I dug out four others given to me by Richard (Dick) Patmore, taken at Miami in 1987. Dick was a Bristol Airport based spotter, very active in the 1980s. However, I've been unable to find any trace of him recently, and neither do any of his excellent K64 slide photos feature on the usual enthusiast sites. So here is a small tribute to him.
