The airline of Manchuoko - the Japanese vassal state in Manchuria, or Northeast China, which was twice as big as France - received some 14 Ju 86s from Germany in 1938 and 1939. Although the airline primarily fulfilled military purposes, the attractive yellow, black, white, blue, and red roundel is the company logo while the air force roundel was different. The name of M-223 is given as Huánglóng or Kōyrū, which are both translated as 'yellow dragon', but the characters on the nose don't seem to match to my untrained eye.

The Bobcat wears the short-lived 1943 US insignia of August 1943 with the new bar outlined in red. Photograph assumed taken in America. Aircraft sent overseas as a communications plane. Fatally crashed near Paris on 12 December 1944. It was then based at Advanced Landing Ground A-47, better known as Orly.

The Brownie was designed for the 1924 Lympne Light Aircraft Trials. This was the second of three examples built, and differed from the first in having a metal wing. This one was withdrawn from the trials because of aileron flutter, but later flew with the Bristol & Wessex Aeroplane Club at Filton. Photo claimed to be from the Paris Air Show by an American press agency, year not stated. However, this looks suspiciously like Filton whereas the Paris Air Show was held indoors, so the photo was probably handed out by Bristol at the show.

The A.35 was a small airliner with a four-seat cabin. OK-ATK and OK-ATN, in the hangar, were operated by the Bata shoe company which constructed Otrokovice airfield near its headquarters in Zlín. The Zlín aircraft factory was founded here and the modern Zlin Aero factory is still here. Postcard published 'circa 1938'.

'Pictured in flight for the first time in the new all-white anti-radation finish is the Vickers Valiant, first four-jet bomber to serve with the RAF.' XD823 was delivered to No 49 Sqn later that month, and was one of the Valiants deployed to Christmas Island for nuclear tests. Struck off charge already in 1965 and scrapped.

Delivery flight. 493 and 494 were supposedly 'cancelled/not taken up' by Syria. It seems likely that they went to Egypt, which was apparently the true customer.

Not much gives away that this photo is 60 years old, except perhaps the traditional runway pattern of the airfield below - does anyone recognize it? Used as a demonstrator, this early 125 became HB-VAH in May 1965 and F-BKMF only a few days later. On 5 June 1966 it crashed into the sea off NCE during an airshow -while making a climbing turn the pilots exceeded the design limit loads of the wing.

The SR.A/1 jet fighter flying boat was conceived during WWII for use against Japan in the Pacific theatre. The sole survivor of three airframes, G-12-1, ex TG263, was brought to London for the Festival of Britain. This was the last occasion it flew.

The Sea Fury originated as the Fury and aircraft built for Iraq and Pakistan reverted to that name. Iraq's order included five two-seaters, designated as Fury Trainers. These preceded the Sea Fury T.20, lacking the latter's 'perspex tunnel' interlinking the two cockpits, and the 'Fury Mk.20' designation given by Scramble seems off. Unfortunately for the Iraqis, the arrangement with separate canopies was 'prone to collapse at high speeds'.

VV190 retained by the factory to test an uprated Goblin 4 engine. Competed in SBAC Challenge Cup race from Elmdon on 1 August 1949, wearing race number 86. A Blackburn Firebrand, a Sea Fury, a DH.103 Hornet, and two Spitfires lost out to three jet contenders. The winner was the Hawker P.1040 prototype, with VV190, flown by John Cunningham, ending in second place and a DH.108 Swallow in third place.
