Indonesian Aircraft ID help required

Hi Guys,

I recently visited a little known aircraft museum in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. I took quite a few photos, and am running through processing the RAW files. But I’ve one airframe that I can’t for the life of me think of it’s name. Worst still, it’s probably easy as well!

Any help?

Will post photos when I am finished of other sights, which include TU16, Catalina, Mig 15-21, Mil 4, Auster, Dakota, B25, A26 etc….

Cheers in advance! (The stopclock is running!)

Now that is something I wouldn’t expect to see in Indonesia!:)

No, it’s a pity there isn’t – I spend a lot of time over there…. However, there are some nice ales made in Singapore.

But Indonesian lager isn’t so bad (Bintang)

Will post photos of museum when I get time…

But seeing as today is the local real ale festival, I’m going to be busy elsewhere!

Do you get a chance to see and photo the Gannets out there at all Scotty?

Sorry James, I didn’t. I know there to be a Gannet at one of the museums in Jakarta, and two in Surabaya, Eastern Java, but haven’t managed to see them yet.

The museum in Yogyakarta was quite an eyeopener – some very good exhibits, but some worse for wear – especially the Catalina outdoors. But given they must have next to no budget it was impressive.

Will post selected photos once I process the files. But seeing as today is the local real ale festival, I’m going to be busy elsewhere!

Kind Regards,
Scotty

Well done Eric!

It took me most of the morning, and much searching on the internet before I posted on the forum. Then of course the next thing I looked at revealed the answer…

15 mins, not too bad!

It turns out that the Indonesian AF only had 2 of these machines, so pretty rare.

Cheers, Scotty
