Registered to Air Holdings as G-AXOY in October 1969, this Vanguard was originally Air Canada's CF-TKU. In May 1970 it became Air Viking's first aircraft, registered TF-AVA. They later operated a CV-880 and Boeing 720s, but the Vanguard was returned in January 1971, going back to Iceland with Thor Cargo as TF-JEJ. Returned in October 1971 and was taken up by Invicta international in February 1972. To Europe Air Service in 1975, stored and eventually scrapped at Perpignan in 1983

Built as a Republic F-84F-66-RE and delivered to the USAF as 53-6806, this Thunderstreak was transferred under MDAP to the R Belgian AF in February 1957 to become FU-154, serving 2 Wing with code 'RA-I' at Florennes. In 1972 it was withdrawn and placed at Koksijde AB along with many others and later moved to Florennes as a decoy. Latterly displayed near the base on a roundabout in an increasingly weathered silver finish, in 2017 a truck collided with it having failed to brake in time in the rain, so it was taken back to Florennes for this smart restoration and detailing by 2 Wing.
