Registered on Feb 6th was Bucker Bu181B-1 Bestmann G-CIEZ. This is ex Swedish built D-ECES, which was with Air Classik for many years as a static exhibit on the roof at Frankfurt and Dusseldorf. Probably a restoration project, it’s registered to the owner of MS317 G-MOSA and Auster G-AJEE.
A picture from a slide in my collection ( photographer A Jansenn) of this Bestmann when displayed at Frankfurt on 28/8/1976 as ‘D-EMIL’

I just saw that this excellent thread has been rejuvenated. I note the Hawk Trainer 3 F-BDPD in the second set of photos with a question as to the story behind it. I have in my notes for August 1968 that I saw F-BDPO outside a garage in Airaines, and G-ASEA refers to a petrol station in the thread. It could be that I misread the D for an O. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks.
Yes the Hawk Trainer you saw would have been F-BDPD – Picture below taken of it at Airaines in January 1965.

With pictures of a certain silver Spitfire at Duxford recently on this Forum its worth recording that MT847 once wore a silver scheme. Some pictures below from slides in my collection ( first 2 pictures -photographers unknown )
Seen on display at the Medical Training Establishment at Freckleton in April 1963 coded MT-E !
MT847 Freckleton 11.4.63 by AJCDuxman, on Flickr
It subsequently moved to Middleton St George before arriving at Cosford where it was seen mounted in the parade ground below in 1967.

.. by July 86 it was in the museum but in a camouflaged scheme without codes.
