Hi – thought these pictures might be of interest – they are of MIG’s from the Somalian Air Force – taken at Mogadishu in march 1993 (i think) – guess there probably arent all that many pictrues of Somalian Aircraft around so thought this was a good place to store for prosterity – Martin B

Yes it was a piaggio but have no idea what model/variant – the area the migs were in was known as the mig grave yard and there was all sorts of ordnance lying about – the eod on the aircraft indicated the americans had cleared them – ln one of the hangers there was a mig 17 (if i remeber correctly up on jacks) above it was a hole in the hanger roof where – apparently – a member of the Pakistan forces attached to NATO had been playing in an aircraft not eod cleared and had pulled the bang handle – wether the story is true i know not but the hole was certalnly there.

Great to see these Martin B.
I spent a few minutes pondering over what was behind the MiG 21 in the centre pic. Have come to the conclusion it is probably a Piaggio P.166 or variant.
