The P-16 was designed in Switzerland for close-support with short-field performance for Alpine strips. Test flights from 1955 proved promising, so a contract was awarded in 1958 for 100 aircraft. But the first pre-production machine crashed on 25.03.58, causing the government to cancel, buying Hunters from the UK instead. This is the last of five built, restored using parts from another prototype. The P-16 is sometimes dubbed Father of the Learjet, Bill Lear having used design concepts from the project

A pleasing view of three of Japan's unique airlifters, now into their fifth decade, on the Iruma flightline. When the C-1 was designed, restrictions dictated that it could have enough range only to fly within Japanese airspace, but when Okinawa was returned by the US, they had difficulty in reaching that far. Extra tankage was fitted to the last five, but the number built was limited to 31 with the C-130 being procured instead. Eventually the Kawasaki C-2 is due as a replacement
