DHL Air UK
That yellow DHL livery is everywhere, and it takes several airlines to fly it. DHL Air UK is the British one, working nights out of East Midlands in England while the rest of the country sleeps, feeding a network whose biggest European sorting hub is Leipzig.
DHL Air UK started life in 1982 as Elan Air Freight and only took the DHL Air name in 1989. Its old fleet included the twin-boom Armstrong Whitworth Argosy and the Vickers Vanguard, a long way from today's Boeing 777 freighters.
