Registered G-ONAA in 2011 and at the time of the upload it is still active and a regular in the European airshow circuit.

Looking at the Piper 23 production list, N44xxP is often used for this block of c/n's. Which leads me to believe that N4450P was the ferry registration. The aircraft later became F-BKBT. I was unable to confirm if the aircraft is still active at the time of the upload.

Ex. PH-MSU with the Rijkluchtvaartschool. The registration was cancelled on February 4, 1972 and the aircraft became N760Q on March 18, 1974.

Sporting "325"on the fuselage, which was its number during the 1977 Paris Air Show. The aircraft used Eelde as a stop on the way home. It was accompanied by An-2TD SP-DNO (c/n 1G119-70), An-2TD SP-DNP (c/n 1G148-60), TS-11 SP-DOF (c/n 3H-1625), Socata Rallye 110ST SP-WGB (c/n 2854, which together with SP-WGC served as 'example' for the license-built PZL.110 Koliber) and M-18 Dromader SP-PBZ (c/n 1ZP01-03).

Ex. Polish Air Force 1606. Together with SP-DNP (c/n 1G148-60) it visited Eelde on the way home from Farnborough.

On August 14 1965, against all advice due to poor weather, the pilot wanted to make a flight to Le Touquet (France). After a stop at Oostende, he wasn't heard from again. Eyewitnesses reported the aircraft flying very low over the beach, dodging rock formations and houses. It is believed he desperately wanted to remain visual with the ground. During these steep turns, it is likely that he got disoriented and lost control of the aircrafl. It crashed in the water off Audresselles and was destroyed. 4 people lost their lives in the event.

Registered on February 26 1962, cancelled September 27, 1973. The aircraft then became G-BCFS in late May 1974 and LN-MAZ in early January 1977. At the time of the upload it was still active as the latter. Unfortunately I don't recognize the airport, but if you do I'd love to hear!

The writing on the tail reads "real aviators fly taildraggers". Although not always true, still somewhat hard to dispute.
