The Hawker Woodcock fighter was oddly named after a stocky wading bird, a gamebird even. A variant for Denmark was christened Danecock, or Dankok in Danish. Three examples were delivered from Britain, and this survivor is one of twelve manufactured by the Danish Naval Dockyard.

A former French air force Broussard returning from a short pleasure flight after the Stauning airshow.

Mikael Carlson's display was the highlight of the Stauning airshow. To take off, he had his Fokker turned into the wind right at his parking position at the crowdline, opened the throttle and was airborne from the grass seconds later to clear the obstacle of the runway. Tony Fokker would have been delighted!

The Auster Mk.I, which entered service with the RAF as a light artillery observation and liaison aircraft in August 1942, was a two-seater. A three-seat cabin was introduced on the Auster Mk.IV. Over 1600 Austers of the wartime models were built.

The F-86D Sabre Dog all-weather fighter was more complex than the similar F-86K, which was supplied to five European NATO countries from the mid-1950s. Denmark received some sixty used F-86Ds instead from June 1958. The Danes found the F-86D's systems difficult to keep up. Note the retractable tray for 24 'Mighty Mouse' unguided rockets. USAF serial of this machine, 51-8421.

The Danish KZ II aircraft in its original form, the Kupé (Coupé) with enclosed side-by-side seating.

First flown in 1913, the Avro 504 had a very long life for an aircraft of its era. The modernized 504N, with a radial engine and a new undercarriage, appeared in 1925 and was a standard trainer in the RAF until 1933. This airframe was one of three built by the Danish Orlogsvaerftet (Naval Yard).

With open cockpits in tandem, the KZ IIS Sport looked very different from the original KZ IIK Kupé. This machine was demonstrated to the Danish navy in 1939, and some similar military trainer KZ IIs were built.

Delivered in 1974, and last flown in 2002.

This one is for Aad!
