This Aero L-39 Albatros has had a "20th Anniversary" tail art design applied to the tail to celebrate the aircraft type's service with the Air Force.

Built in Spain as a Hispano Buchon HA 1109-K1L. It was restored as a Bf 109G-2 by Airbus - Germany.

Preserved near the Sécurité Civile apron. The real registration is reportedly F-GIGC, stricken in 2006. The fake reg is for the École Supérieure des Métiers de l'Aérien, a school in Montpellier.

The Historic Aircraft Preservation Society obtained this CL-13 Sabre 4 but after the demise of the society it morphed into Reflectaire Limited and the Sabre was moved from Biggin Hill to Lavenham where I photographed it late one Sunday afternoon just before Christmas 1969. I don't know when the USAF markings were applied but note the Italian Air Force roundel on the wing upper surface. The first flight was made as RCAF 19607 on 18-Mar-1953. Already in Jun-1953 it went to the RAF as XB733 and in Aug-1956 to the Italian AF as 19607. In Mar-1966 it was registered G-ATBF and that was cancelled in Feb-1979.

6798M. Bought by Percy Sheppard for £25 and exhibited outside his pub. This aircraft is currently stored in Belgium awaiting the completion of a very long and tortuous restoration to flying condition.

Val awaiting restoration at Planes of Fame Air Museum. The D3A1 was powered by a 1,070 hp Kinsei 44 radial engine and could carry a 250kg GP bomb. Kido Butai embarked 141 Vals of which 51 from Zuikaku and Shokaku flew the first strike against airfields at Oahu and the fleet at Pearl Harbor and 78 from Akagi, Kaga, Soryu and Hiryu flew the 2nd strike. Renowned for its dive bombing accuracy, the Val dominated the early Pacific War but suffered after late 1942. This D3A2 Model 22 with a Kinsei 54 engine was assigned to Zuikaku Air Group. It was abandoned on Ballale airfield and recovered in 1968.

Wears a faded code of the liaison and training flight of long disbanded EC 11 at Toul.

Wfu in 1960 and after some more or less careful owners the cockpit section was restored. Since 2022 it is on display at the Morayvia museum.

Actually G-APNJ, representing a U-3A Blue Canoe. Original 58-2127 was registered N87SM and is now preserved in the Travis base museum.
