You mean 21218 or 21519? The confirmed ones as you correctly say are 18, although there are usually mentioned 20. The confusion with the 52xxx serials might also palyed a part here, although there seems to be an ex-Dutch example between them as well ( 54-1542 ex M-102?) I remember a formation photo of about 10-15 RT-33’s but I’ll have to look for it…

Yes Steve it comes from P.Anastasiou site, the guy that sent Scramble the PA unit badges. The list was put together in the last year or so IIRC, and it certainly is not complete and I have cross-checked it with some files of mine… Here are some additions I managed to find so far. Keep in mind that the RT-33’s were returned as soon as the RF-84F’s started to arrive and they were used along with F-84G’s that had cameras in their tip tanks…

Hellas, (Greece), received the T-33A in 1951. About 400 of them, not all at once. Then in 52′ they began receiving the first of 250 F-84Gs, and so on and so on.

The very first “Daskala” (Teacher, s/n 50-434/TR-434 that landed along with 50-435/TR-435) photographed on September 21st 1951 at Eleusis ( via Michael Solanakis, http://koti.welho.com/msolanak ), it was part of the “Sminos Aeriothoumenon” ( Jet Flight). The first operational Jet of the then Royal Hellenic Air Force was the F-84G Thunderjets that replaced Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVI’s, flown by 337 Mira “Fantasma” on May 1952 from Larissa. 😀

…Arthur were are you? :confused:

If you are interested in African Air Forces, then this is what you are looking for:

😮

Does ACIG team have some kind of “collective opinion”? Smells like hard-core communism to me..

Smells like dozens of researchers worldwide compiling information that actually proves what hapenned instead of using decades old stereotypes and minimalistic generalities to support ones “reality”… :rolleyes:

I’ll have to ask and see if I can get more details… BTW only the first one was published 😉 , the whole set comes from an inside source… 😀

Here is his wingman:
