Egyptian National Military Museum IDs

Oh – thanks for that. I had originally thought that it would be “soemthing of German origin”… ok, the grandfather of this aircraft was the Klemm Kl-35.

Would anybody know what type it is?

This is same Zlin, mentioned above in this thread.

I had visited the inside of the museum in 2013 – but there were no aircraft to be seen. Neither the Criquet nor the Gamhouria… although I have to admit that a portion of the museum was not accessible for visitors.

Now I have been there again this week – the inside is not open for visitors but in the open exhibition outside were the above mentioned aircraft plus this one in the photo below. Would anybody know what type t is?

The Cricket and Gomhouria are inside the museum, so you would probably have to queue to go in to see them. The rest are all outside, including a Wilga light plane, which you didn’t mention. If you are missing any photos, I can help out.

Albert,

Thanks for the offer, I’ll probably just go ahead with what I’ve got.

Richard.

James,

What’s a book? 8^O

I’m a child of the internet!

I saw the MiG 17 and 21, the Su-7 and the PZL 104, but I can’t say I saw the Cricket or Goumhouria there.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated!

Well, it’s something I should be writing rather than using someone else’s to help you with!

I don’t ever travel without the appropriate Ogden, and it can be read in places that the internet don’t work, like, for instance, on the airfield… 😀

Bob Ogden’s Africa & Australasia has:

Zlin Z-226 Trener, no ID.

Yakovlev Yak-18A, 621

The Zlin served with the air force from 1957 – 75 and the Yak from 1958 – 74.

In addition he mentions them having a Campbell Cricket, G-AYBX, a Heliopolis Goumhouria 6, 202 (based on the Bestmann) MiG 17F and 21F-13 PZL 104 Wilga, and an Su-7.

Knowing your globe-trotting, Richard, I’m surprised you don’t have the books. Though getting old now they are still very useful.

HTH.

Nice photographs.

Second is a Zlinn.
