No fewer than six ex-IAF Liberators are preserved worldwide. This was delivered to the RAF as KH304 in 9.44 and abandoned in India but rebuilt there around 1948. Remaining in service with 6 Sqdn on maritime surveillance till the late 1960s, she underwent an epic ferry flight to the USA as N7866 in early 1969, hazards including an intercept from Pakistani F-86s. Nowadays displayed inside, the starboard in Indian colours and the other side as 44-44175

The Prowler was an entirely different aircraft to the EA-6A (modified from the A-6A) and was not based on the A-6B despite the designation. It carried a crew of four, the pilot and three ECM operators. This, the first of 170 built, was retained for development by the NATC at Patuxent River, MD, and arrived at MASDC three months prior to the photo date. From 1.99 she was preserved in 'Prowler Park' at NAS Whidbey Island, WA, the premier base for the type

From 1961, some 159 Caribous were delivered by DHC to the US Army as AC-1s, changed next year to CV-2. Serving widely in SE Asia, when responsibility for fixed-wing transports switched to the USAF in 1.67 they were re-designated C-7. This example joined the Army in 1.63 and wore the tail-codes 'KC' and 'KA' after allocation to the USAF and later 'GE' with the South Vietnamese AF in 1972. To MASDC 3.76 ('YK'). Registered N92NC in 7.90 but ntu; in Western Int'l yard 2006. Behind are 63-9739 and N43888
