Departing from Runway 27 at 12-20pm after RIAT 2010 nice to see a Hercules from the Middle East here. (Canon 40D 105mm)

A gold Fishbed is not something I see everyday! Exhibited in the Cold War Jets area after being donated to the IWM by the Hugarian Govt. in 1977.

Here in ex-RAAF c/s, this Viscount later became well-known as G-BFZL with BMA, Manx and BAF but was first N40N with Union Carbide from 5.60 then A6-435 with the RAAF from 8.64. She found her way to the Sultan of Oman's AF via Southend 1971 - see my next shot after repaint. Behind are Ecko Anson G-AGPG and Bob Batt's Prentice G-AOKH

Marked on fin as Sahara No. 1, but wears code 501 on its nose. Ex French Air Force transport squadron No. 64.

Following on from my arrival picture, here's the result of the preparatory work by ATEL. After her later career in the UK (B-BFZL) she ended her days in Congo, crashing during a three-engined take-off from a 900m strip in 4.03 registered 9Q-CGL

First flown in 1931, the Cadet was a smaller variant of the Avro Tutor. This aircraft was delivered to Portugal in 1934 and served until 1952.
