OK, let’s go back to small Air Forces : Eritrean Bell 412 :
Even if Belgian Air Force is certainly, in many ways, smaller than Algerian one. 🙂
Rhodesian Air Force of the fifties (sorry, not in colors but with Federation of Rhodesia roundels) :
Line of Vampire F.B.9 in Salisbury :
Provost T.53 :
some former Rhodesian roundels were so ;
(from wikipedia) ;
Federation of Rhodesia & Nyasaland Air Force Roundel (1954–1963) :
………………………………………………………………….[ATTACH=CONFIG]221301[/ATTACH]Royal Rhodesian Air Force Roundel (1963–1970) ;
…………………………………………………………….[ATTACH=CONFIG]221302[/ATTACH]BUT it seems imposiible (till now :confused: ) to find (good/color) pics of aircraft with them !!
having a serious doubt for this ;http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f8/De_Havilland_Vampire_T11_(DH-115)_Point_Cook_Vabre.jpg ; was it a REAL one ‘of THEN’ ???
friendly, Etienne
Like this Hunter one ?
PS : The picture in Wiki is former Rhodesian Air Force De Havilland DH-115 Vampire T.11, VH-ZVZ / 15392, owned and operated by Judy Pay (private collection).
It is representing RRAF119. It is not the originally delivered SRAF119 / RRAF119 / R4032. The original aircraft ended up in South Africa in 1980 but has not been, apparently, preserved.
Indian Mi-4 :
Mi-4 and Alouette III from same event :

Classic bird and nice photos!
Didn’t someone comment that the Malaysians are finding out their fancy new A-109s are nowhere near as rugged as the old Alouette? The SA315B Lama derivative (Alouette III systems on Alouette II airfram) is one fine piece of engineering and a great chopper if you want to fly hot and/or high.
I completely agree with you. Belgian Alouette III are in active duties since 1971.
Malta Alouette III :
Even if I must admit that I’m a big fan of the good looking shapes of the A109 (here in Malaysian colors) :
