The Argentinian navy received four AS555SN Fennec for operational use; this is the fifth (complete) helicopter which was apparently delivered as an instructional airframe, seen here stored with the naval aviation museum.

A single remaining frame is all that is left of 41 FMA Ae.M.O.1 observation aircraft built.

This flying wing glider was designed by German designer Reimar Horten. The IA-34M single seater, of which only two were built, participated in the 1952 World Gliding Championship in Spain painted in the colours of Argentinian flag and achieved the 4th place.

A model of the MAXR-1, a military trainer designed in Uruguay, belongs to the collection of the Museo Aeronautico at Carrasco. The aircraft never made it past this stage of development.

In the mid 1980s 13 F-86Ds were stored at Karup, and this photo shows seven of them. The 13 aircraft were serials F-018, F-118, F-123, F-303, F-307, F-427, F-474, F-500, F-504, F-952, F-953, F-977 and F-984. They were all former Esk728 aircraft withdrawn from use in March 1966, and they were eventually scrapped in the late 1980s.

On display in the museum at Carrasco, Montevideo's airport, is this restored Castaibert 70 hp. Uruguay's military aviation school used five Castaibert aircraft, all with different hp-engines built by French engineer Paul Castaibert, between 1917 and 1919. This particular example was taken on strength in January 1917, retired in December 1919, being replaced by the Avro 504K.

The Buhl A-1 autogyro, built in 1931, was optimized for camera work, with a pusher propeller behind the pilot and camera operator. Only one aircraft was built before the company ceased operation in 1933 during The Depression. This autogyro is a replica.

The first NOTAR helicopter built in USA in 1947

Designed in 1932, this unfinished Penguin was built in 2014

The Fleetwings Model 27 was a private venture radio controlled aerial gunnery target built in 1940 and known as the A-1. It had fabric covered 20ft span wings with split flaps and fabric covered empennage and flight controls. A Continental A65 engine gave a top speed of 180 mph. The radio set was located in a compartment positioned on the center of gravity, so with the equipment removed it could carry a pilot. On 1 April 1940 test pilot William H. Engle took it for a flight from the Aircraft Radio Corporation airfield at Boonton/NJ. Military designation believed to be OQ-1. No further examples were built. Collection holder William Engle is the son of Fleetwings test pilot William H. Engle.

This aircraft was built and used in the movie "Amelia."

Seen after a repaint, but prior to the application of new titles and serial. Ex Polish AF 0316, N316BC. Was stored at Paris, TX for a period, unknown when she came to Cleves. Reg N316BC cancelled 12 July 2017 as expired.

This is a non-flying replica built by Qantas. It is of the airline's first aircraft . That was an Australian made 504K fitted with a Sunbeam Dyak engine. Became G-AUBG. and later VH-UBG. Withdrawn from use in 1932. In 1965 Qantas fitted a Dyak engine to a borrowed 504K, A3-4, owned by the Australian War Memorial. It was painted like the replica. Returned in 1987 with its rotary engine refitted and in RAAF markings. Qantas by then had built two replicas of G-AUBG, one of which is pictured.

The XR-1 Pinwheel in an early form. The two 'armrest' rocket fuel tanks were not always fitted. Probably even earlier, it had a rudder with self-made US Marines titles. It reportedly first flew in April 1954. Testing took place at NAS Los Alamitos (KSLI) according to a Dutch newspaper. It was always intended to reduce the craft to the 'backpack' seen in the other photo.

Half man, half helicopter. This 'strap-on helicopter' was powered by rocket motors mounted at the rotor tips. The tail rotor was for steering. Tested by the US Navy against the Hiller ROE and Gyrodyne RON but the RH-1 does not seem to be a naval designation and nor is a serial known. Photo by: Ralph Crane / Life

An amateur aircraft built by Polish modeler Jerzy Ostrowski in 1977-1983. In the 1980s it was one of the few private planes in Poland. The aircraft was operated with various engines from 1983 to 1998.

Originally built for the USAAF as TC-47B-35-DK s/n 44-76884, transferred to the US Navy as R4D-7 BuNo 99838. To the civil registry at an unknown date, becoming N7073C, N30, N87814, N2004J, N212GB, and finally N2312G. From October 1993 to July 2008, displayed at the 101st Foxhole Club restaurant at KBNA. Moved to OPN in Thomaston, GA in July 2008, then to 3FK in Franklin, IN, before ending up here at Motts circa 2014. Has since been undergoing restoration for static display.

The first exhibits in the Aviation Technical Museum were aircraft which required maintenance and had been sent to Luhansk Aircraft Repair Plant. Some aircraft remained there, and subsequently were written from use and preserved for display in the museum. The second prototype of the Tu-142 seen here, made its first flight on 3 September 1968.
