Fouga CM.170R Magister C/no. 268 served as MT-11 with the Belgian Air Force and supplied in the early 1960s.    The Magisters flew with the Voortgezette Vliegopleiding School (VVS)  principally at Brustem.  MT-11 was also flown as part of the  ‘Rode Duivels’ team.  Following retirement, sold in UK and registered G-BRFU.

Aerospatiale SE.3160 Alouette III of the Dutch Air Force KLU/Navy RNLAF.  C/no. 1320.  Built in France (later Dutch machines were assembled in Holland).  Delivered 1966, H-50 is now preserved at Soesterberg.  Served throughout military service in the ‘Rescue’ role.

You’ve been had.  I paid ‘pocketmags.com’ during their recent ‘Black Friday’ promotion a few weeks ago £21.99STG for 12 issues of Flypast e-mag by debit card as an internet purchase.  Very quick, no hassle.  Only disadvantage is that I’m not eligible  to join Key’s forums as it is not a direct purchase from them.  I had let my direct ‘paper mag’ sub lapse a few years back on a move to Spain – do find being able to pick and put down a ‘paper’ mag so much more convenient and ‘user friendly’ than using a screen in a hard case.

That is a big question. However the addition of MOD to the request could suggest that you are looking for how many Harvards were retained after the type was replaced and retired from training duties.

Certainly by 1977 (and I suspect for a fair few years before that) there were just 3, all operated by the A&AEE at Boscombe Down: FT375, KF183 and KF314.

This was reduced to 2 with KF314 destroyed in a crash near Chilmark, Wilts, 22nd February 1982.

FT375 was auctioned off and became G-BWUL 7/96 to an Italian owner, became N16NA, G-BWUL again and now I-BWUL, all with the same owner.

KF183 was sold and became G-CORS November 2016.

Matching yellow schemes, note the last digit of serial on the wheel hubs.
For photos, including the odd one pre-yellow, try searching AB Pics by RAF registration.

Hope I have interpreted the question correctly.

On a general not to the Site Manager, as a member of the forum for many years, and re-registered in the early days of the ‘new format’, I found it extremely difficult to sign on, despite being certain of my username and password. When they did not work, tried asking for a new password and went into a recurring circle. Out of desperation as a final resort, tried again to log in and got in! No wonder the active and informed ‘old guard’ have disappeared, as it would appear that only direct subscribers to Key Aero products can now join the forum (I subscribe via Pocketmags and have never been offered forum membership).

I note that ‘edit’ has disappeared again. The ‘about text formats’ offers many options – few of which I’m likely to need. Do find the ‘letterbox’ compose screen very restrictive once you have exceeded 5 lines of post!

Initially confused, however I think I’m right in working out that:

The 51- numbers are United States fiscal serials.

The 52- and 72- style number are Japanese Air Force serials

The 182- style numbers are manufacturer’s  construction numbers

but, are the N**** numbers US civil serials?

An obscure topic, be interesting to follow this thread to see what further information is known on the topic.

PS I’ve just edited this post (tiny diagonal pencil logo lower right of the post), many thanks Key for reintroducing this basic requirement.  See it is appreciated when features return.

Looking back at my post (which I cannot amend directly with no ‘edit’ function), the date is all wrong for a EC-AAA-AZZ series registration and for an aircraft which had UK initial registration G-AIGH cancelled 9.9.53 on export to Spain.  Looking through the early registrations in the main series  while some have 50s dates, others have early 70s dates, so there may have been a census of registrations around that time.
