    I have moved some of these posts to the Naval Aviation forum under the heading “Falklands Naval War Discussion ” starting with gabotdf’s pictures of Stark. Please keep it civil chaps and lets return to discussing the Super Etendard!

    I think the Germans still do. Even if the Marineflieger ones got absorbed into the air force.

    Yes they still do, here is a pic of them doing there stuff in South Africa during Exercise Good Hope.

    Alpha Jets were not carier capable…

    Not true, unless you mean those that entered production 😉

    You can get ‘From Tailhooker to Mudmover’ from :

    Another excellent book by Dick Lord is; “Fire, Flood and Ice”. He is also due to release another in June this year.

    I think you are correct, I seem to recall the air traffic engineers going there a lot.

    Would you know how many? Also seeing as Quadaffi was so intimate with the ANC, it is rather surprising he didn’t snap up a few of the F1AZ’s….

    Quadaffi was an original contender, but I believe that the French had a hand in squashing the deal.

    Numbers for Gabon vary but most give it as eight.

    XM797, which I believe was a British Army evaluation aircraft, is still airworthy in South Africa. Belongs to the SAAF Museum.

    If anyone is really keen, I’ll dig out the photo’s and scan them.

    I always thought, that Togo’s 326s, were of italian origin. Did some opposing information arise?

    5V-MAO/P/Q bought 1977 and 5V-MAW/X/Y/Z bought 1978.
    All EMB326GC Xavante.

    OK so rather than just sharing this with Mr Collins, now I’m back at ‘home plate’ I’ve decided to post those seen on here as a starter for ten on a less often reported user of the type.
    Hopefully there should be pictures as follows:

    208 at Ysterplatt museum
    227 at Swartkopf
    229 at Swartkopf
    241 at Stellenbosch
    242 at Capetown (Thunder city)
    253 at Swartkopf
    254 at Swartkopf
    257 at Swartkopf
    269 (ZU-MES) at Wonderboom
    271 at Swartkopf
    276 at Swartkopf
    277 at Swartkopf
    R4032 at swartkopf (with the remains of 222 in front)
    An unknown single seat at Swartkopf – I have been unable to tie this one down.

    That should be “Swartkop” 😉
    “222” use to be at the Atlas Training school.
    “234” is at Gweru, Zimbabwe
    “248” went to Portugal.
    “255” is at the IAF museum at Hatzerim.
