This exceptionally rare beast in Australia is seen arriving for static display at the Australian International Airshow. Produced for the Yugoslav Air Force as 23177, it was retired in 2000 and went to the civil Aero Club Galeb, Belgrade. It seems to have come to Australia since 2008 and appears to be operating from Lilydale, still under its Serbian registration. It carries '40th Anniversary' titles, possibly of the first flight of the type in 1961. This photo is copyright © Phil Vabre, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
