Nice set Andy. The Wellington and Heinkel had me going for a bit!

The museum list shows it as ex French Air Force as you suggest. Perhaps it was “liberated” after one of the all too prevalent African civil wars.

Really interesting. Thanks for posting. What is the Skyraider doing there? Did the SAAF use them at some stage. Loved the sunshine as well!

Unfortunately the memorial has been damaged in the recent past but it has now been repaired. I don’t think we will ever see flying there again as there was a super show in the year Wimbledon beat Liverpool in the FA Cup (when was that?). Prince Bernhardt of the Netherlands was there and the flying programme had some real gems in it. Allegedly quite a few air display rules were, shall we say, infringed that day. Did I see a (very) low flying Corsair or was it the lunchtime Greene King IPA? However it does remain a rather special place.

Isn’t that the remains of a Canadian flag on the fin in the very first picture in this thread?

It very probably is this one although when I saw it it was still in RNZAF colours. It does look as though it has had a recent respray doesn’t it? Thanks for the “heads-up” anyway.
