    Nice pictures, but I really love the caption of this one…for a Mi-35 (export Mi-24V)

    If the Russians sold this to Sudan as a Mi-28 the Sudanese really had a bargain. :p

    You could be right Gerard. Difficult to say because it’s a B/W picture. According to some sources (http://www.saairforce.co.za/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5485), from December 1920 (first roundel on SAAF aircraft) to December 1921 the roundel was (from center) Orange, Green, Red and Blue. From 1921 to 1927, the roundel was (from center) Green, Orange, Lemon, Yellow and Blue…

    hmmm… I guess you’re right. It is the 1921 version

    After the capitulation of the Netherlands in 1940 some planes fled to the UK. In the UK most of those were put in service with the RAF, like this Fokker T.VIIIw. The overpainted Dutch triangular roundels are still visible. It now has a small orange triangle under the wings and on the nose.
