The Angolan MiG-21 C340 in SA museum is a bis, not an MF!

Well spotted, you are of course quite correct!

I don’t seem able to access the original site mentioned but from the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of…lot_defections list.

The Angolan MiG-21Bis mentioned, did not defect. It was a navigational error.

Missing from the list is;

Lt. Adriano Bomba who defected to South Africa from Mozambique in a MiG-17. After evaluation it was returned by road to Mozambique. This happened on 8th July 1981.

On 16th August 1982 Senior Aircraftsman Mark Jeffries defected from Zimbabwe to South Africa in a Reims Cessna 337 known locally as the “Lynx”.

On 14 January 1994, the Chief of the Lesotho Air Wing together with other colleagues fled to South Africa in four helicopters.

Stick to the topic guys! Deino you have made your point, lets move on….

Hello

That Cessna 337 Linx of Rodesia looks very cool with thouse gunpods in the upper center wing. First time i seen these variant, do they come with these variat or the Rodesia air force armed them with the guns?

Due to the Arms Embargo the aircraft were bought as civilian aircraft for the “Malagasy Fisheries Surveillance Company”, once safely in Rhodesia, the Rhodesians fitted the twin Browning , 303 machine guns above the wing.
