The Alouette II, or Hkp2 in Swedish Air Force parlour, is one of the first rescue helicopters that served with the Swedish Air Force. It is preserved in the excellent Flyg- och Lottamuseum in Optand.

An F-84F is false markings is displayed at this restaurant in Macaria in Northern Italy on road SS10. The aircraft, which real identity is MM53-6730, has parts from MM53-6659/8-39, whch explains the digits 39 on the nosewheel door.

Author unknown. Serial and unit codes fake because Italian F-84Fs were registered with serials in the range 51- / 53-. This aircraft was built up by merging the front part from MM 53-6659, coded 8-39 and withdrawn from use on 1970-04-13, and the rear part (or at least the tail) from an RF-84F Thunderflash, MM 52-7339 coded 3-03. This second aircraft was really assigned to 3rd Aerobrigata and the first one to 101° Gruppo / 8° Stormo (distinctive red flash). At the time of this photo the aircraft was preserved in front of Hotel Gallo, along the SP10 road, just out of Marcaria village.

In the static aircraft park. Note the white spine.

More than 65 years earlier, this aircraft was based at Temora during its wartime service with 10 EFTS. It returned again as part of the RAAF 90th Anniversary Air Pilgrimage. The RAAF Museum's Tiger was built to an EATS order and allocated RAF serial DX781, but was taken over by the RAAF as A17-692. Civilianised after the war, it became VH-TWA with the Tamworth Aero Club on 31 October 1958. It was subsequently re-registered VH-AWA(2) in March 1961.
