The Shark was in some respects more modern than the Fairey Swordfish, but apparently the wing construction was not up to diving. The Portugese navy initially refused to take delivery of its six airframes, ordered for £50,000 in 1935, and they were already withdrawn in 1938 following a fatal accident. The nose numbers then in use were type-based and not unit codes, so this should be s/n 76, which wore nose number 4 already in England. Photo from: Museu de Marinha (Portugal)

About to make an evening landing on Prestwick's Runway 30. From the 146th AW, California Air National Guard, based at Channel Islands ANG Station, Oxnard. The dayglo markings indicate that this aircraft can be fitted with the Modular Airborne FireFighting System (MAFFS) and used to reinforce the US Forest Service's firebombers in a wildfire emergency.

Reserve Fleet Composite Squadron (VC) 12 "Fighting Omars" used this dark, 1963 built, A-4E Skyhawk. VC-12 used the JY tailcode, but this was not carried here. On 16 Jul'93, the squadron flew their last mission with the A-4 and transitioned a year later to the F/A-18A/B Hornet. VC-12 provided adversary training to East Coast Navy air wings. This A-4E was already retired to AMARC from Jan'78 to Jul'80 with inventory code 3A523, but returned to operational service. After VC-12 got rid of their A-4s, it was moved to the National Museum of Naval Aviation at Penscacola.

The original SAAF display team the Bumbling Bees formed at Langebaanweg in 1953 with Harvards and later De Havilland Vampires. The team disbanded in the late 1950s and re-formed with the MB326 Impala in 1966, re-naming to the Silver Falcons in 1967. In 1992 the team moved to Hoedspruit with 85CFS and the remaining SAAF Impala fleet. With the retirement of the Impala from SAAF service they moved back to Langebaanweg in 1998 to transition to the PC7 Astra.
