    The Mi-24 mock-up is possibly Whirlwind HAS 7 s/n XN382, which was sold to the Swedish Bofors arms company in 1988. It was destroyed during RB 70 trials. From memory, there was a photo of her in Flypast around 1987/88.

    Hi Dave,

    The Hercules is LC-130F Bu 148318 (c/n 282-3562) of VX-6 (?) which crashed on take-off from McMurdo on 15 February 1971.

    Cessna 172RG, do you have an id for the Cessna 195? Also, do you know if any of the FACH Cessna T-41As has been preserved?

    The Gulfstream V is N379P. It and the Boeing 737 even received coverage on CBS 60 minutes.

    The Imperial Ethiopian Air Force, I.E.A.F., received eight Firefly F.1s, nine FR.1s, three T.1s and three T.2s. Most of these aircraft were supplied from Royal Canadian Navy stocks in 1954. One FR.IV was supposedly delivered as well, but confirmation is lacking.

    Two Ethiopian aircraft that weren’t recovered by the South African expedition in 1996 was a Cessna UC-78 Bobcat and a Stinson L-5 Sentinel. Both were little more rusted heaps of wreckage, and presumably deemed of little use.

    Regards,

    In 1993, there were two derelict Fireflies on the airport dump at Asmara, Eritrea. I have no idea if they’re still there, but apparently, the dump was in the middle of a mine field. Two additional Fireflies, DK545 and PP462, were recovered from Asmara in the early 1990s. Both of these are now undergoing restoration in Canada.

    As for Ethiopia, there were reports several years ago of a Caproni Ca 133 as well as a couple of Ro 37s.

    The shot is of the sole remaining RTAF-5 from the Royal Thai Air Force Museum at Don Muang AB. Incidentally, the aircraft on the left is a modified Chipmunk, the RTAF-4 Chantra.

    According to a recent Flypast news brief, the Museum will restore the Saab J21 – DB 605 engine and all – to ground-running status.

    In 1999, I had the priviledge of sitting the J 21 at the Söderhamn Museum, although I don’t think they will let me perform any high-speed taxi runs when the restoration’s finished!

    More on the J 21 can be found at

    I believe that about 17 Avia S.92/CS.92s were produced, with the type entering service with the Czech air arm around 1949/1950. The Yugoslavian air arm ordered two in 1947, but both were cancelled before delivery.

    I’ve never seen any other reference to the IAF receiving the Avia S.92, but it is a fascinating “What if…” that needs further research.

    Regards,
