This is former USAAF 45-11518 that later went to the RNZAF as NZ2427. Since 1997, it is active in the UK warbird scene, first as G-MSTG and since 2020 in this identity, with a black tail and beautiful nose art showing the American actress Ava Gardner.

Still looking the way it was back in the 1980s when this Bulldog was operated by the Birmingham UAS. After its RAF servce ended, the plane went to France.

For many years during the 2010s, this former French AF Magister carried fake Belgium Air Force markings and a fake MT3 serial. Now it looks very French again.

This former ALAT Gazelle has been saved for posterity by APPAF. I am not sure whether it was a good idea to change the words "armée de TERRE" on the helictopter into "appaf de TERRE" though...

This all black Mi-2 is a bit of a mystery. According to helicopter-database.de it has had several previous identities, including UR-23649 with the Ukraine AF from 1993 until 1999 and LA-23649 with Chaika Avia Company from 2001 until 2002. In 2003, it came to France, first still in its orginal largely white colourscheme, but as of 2004 in an all black scheme as RA-1149K. Since 2022 it has this Republic of Moldova registration, but why? The original ER-20257 was wfu in Moldova with the registration cancelled in 2015. Or is this the latter? (with c/n 547215071).

Beautifully restored in 2024 and painted in its December 1944 colour scheme when it tugged a Waco to Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge. Despite suffering heavy damage, the aicraft managed to get back to England safely, much to the astonishment of its crew, which then named the aicraft Gruesome.
