When Yugoslavia under Tito fell out with the USSR in 1948, Soviet military supplies were denied so the need for an interim fighter-bomber of indigenous design came about. The result was the Ikarus S-49, based on Yugoslavia's pre-war IK-3, but developed by 1952 into an all-metal machine powered by a Hispano-Suiza engine from France. Although fairly soon superseded by modern US jets, 112 S-49Cs were built by Ikarus and Soko by 1954 and served till 1961. This is the only surviving example in the world

Seen here with 55 Sqdn, seven years later this Victor was to play a crucial role with 57 Sqdn in the first 'Black Buck' raid on the Falklands by Vulcan XM607, under the command of Sqdn Ldr Bob 'Tux' Tuxford who gained the AFC for his heroics. Full story in the very excellent book 'Vulcan 607'

The Puerto Rico ANG (or PRANG) was the last operational user of the Starfighter in the USAF (1968-75); never common in American use, the only others by this time were the natural finish aircraft of the Luftwaffe training unit at Luke AFB, AZ. Nice to see another Lockheed classic sharing the ramp. Langley AFB was the first airbase in the US, opened 1916
