Seen here at Southend earlier this year, Boeing 707-338C 5B-DAY of Phoenix Aviation was one of two worked on there by Heavylift prior to delivery to Grumman Systems Group at Lake Charles, Louisiana, where 20 former airline 707-300s are to undergo conversion into E-8C JSTARS (Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar Systems) aircraft for the USAF/US Army. Preliminary work undertaken by Heavylift included paint stripping and application of primer together with removal of all interior furnishings. 5B-DAY is now re-registered N4131G and will be the first production E-8C following conversion work which takes around 18 months per aircraft.

Recently modified 'on location' by Airwork in Oman on behalf of the Ministry of the Environment was a single Royal Air Force of Oman Skyvan which has been fitted out as an oil spill dispersant sprayer. The aircraft, Srs 3M-400-22, serial 911, has permanently fixed spray bars under the rear fuselage but the internal dispersant tank, pump etc are quickly removable, enabling the aircraft to be also used for more normal duties. The aircraft, based at Seeb with 2 Sqn is seen here undertaking trials off Oman on October 31, 1992 and following the success of these has now been declared operational.
