RAF Chipmunks did not get repainted into the red/white/grey scheme until 1971 and as WG304 was not retired until 1975, it most certainly would have worn this scheme. Whilst it did indeed serve with Cambridge UAS, it’s final days were with 5 Air Experience Flight at Cambridge also. However, I do not know the transfer date, so am unable to confirm the markings when with CUAS. I have photos of other CUAS Chipmunks but not this one.

Does anyone have any ‘in service’ photos of Iraqi Air Force Jet Provosts?

Will she come to the Kemble Air Day on 17th June to join Delta Jets’ Hunters?

The Guinot Girls

Well, it’s obvious that any tenuous aviation link is enough to get your pulses racing, so perhaps I should share the rest of the “Team Guinot” girls with you.
I was invited to their Press Day and wingwalker selection day, which did my blood pressure no good being surrounded by all these lovelies…oh, er, and three newly-painted Stearmans (had to add that in, to keep it relevant:diablo: ). These are the eleven finalists from about 300 applicants and here are the two selected to join the team when they operate a 4-ship.

Does anyone know when this will be transmitted on Blue Peter?

Yes ,but would it be authentic Albert….? !:rolleyes:
Alan

About as authentic as a Red Bull Sea Vixen or a Guinot Stearman;) 😉

This was one of the birds from so called “Little aerobatic team”, an non-official group of the YAF Accademy (VVA), ad hoc formed at the begining of 1980 and consisted of enthusiastic flight instructors. The group performed just few internal shows prior the official team, Letece zvezde (Flying Stars) w/J-21, took its place. Hope this helps 🙂

Thanks very much for that. I wonder if the Serbian Air Force have enough
Super Galebs to reform the “Flying Stars”. Croatia has “Wings of Storm”, so they must need a team to promote the air force?

Yes indeed, this is the tail from a Merpati Nusantara Airlines Vanguard in the delivery scheme as per this photo. Not sure which one though, possibly PK-MVW ( c/n 728) that was bought back early by Air Holdings for spares at Southend in 1972.
