The Paraplane used the "Vacuplane principle" in which the airflow was directed through wing slots to reduce pressure over the upper wing area, thus allowing slow flight and STOL performance. Redesigned as the Paraplane II in 1953. Registration cancelled in 1958. The slogan on the side says "Every field an airport". Photo by: Rudy Arnold / Smithsonian Institution

A17-716 being used to test the storpedoette, a small version World War 2 storpedo. An Australian invention, the storpedo used a small parachute to slow the descent of a canister designed to absorb shocks. It was cheaper than a conventional parachute but offering more protection than dropping with no chute at all. The storpedoette was for smaller aircraft than the storpedo required, in particular to deliver critical medical supplies accurately. A17-716 was sold in civil buyers in 1955.

Early C-47 (no suffix), 41-18384. Served in North Africa. Leased to Pioneer Air Lines from 1947 until 1952, reportedly named Ben Milan. It returned to military service for a few years as a C-117C - so had it already been modified to VC-47A earlier? Photo from: Albuquerque Progress / Albuquerque Museum

VT268 was later converted to a drone and shot down in 1961. RAF Fayid was abandoned by the RAF in 1956 and became an Egyptian air force base. In the 1980s the EAF moved a short distance to Fayed air force base built by the USAF. The RAF station is slowly being reclaimed by the sand. Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand

Comparable to the Martin P5M Marlin, the Noroît (northwest wind) is another little-known French aircraft type that did see operational service. This is the first of two N.1400 prototypes, first flown on 6 January 1949. Photo assumed to have been taken early on. Some 23 N.1402 production aircraft were delivered to the Aéronavale from 1952, but suffered from unreliable Arsenal 12H engines of German origin. Apparently the type was withdrawn after a fatal crash at Bizerte, Tunisia on 2 November 1954. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)
