    Great idea… I’ve been chasing these for months now as well

    Here’s some fairly recent (this spring) material from Haiti…
    Chilean Army Puma
    Argentine Air Force B212
    Russian Air Force HIP
    and overall ramp shot

    Next, here’s a UNHCR marked Buffalo still wearing the basics of the Canadian Forces SAR paint work.

    They were completed some time ago – then I decided to rework the airframes – hopefully the early Tamin Sari and Swiss PC-7 should be (re)done perhaps this evening but definitely over the weekend (a couple Sabres need my attention for tomorrow morning).

    Curious to know… I’ve seen a couple more recent (see smaller attached shot) photos of Malaysian PC-7 displays – wondering if the Tamin Sari have continued flying (since the crash/cancelation of Panji Wira) or have these been ‘ad hoc’ displays by regular training unit aircraft.

    Just so anyone else knows what we’re talking about… here’s Peter Steinemann’ s ‘beauty’ shot or the ‘Tamin Sari’ – this shot also ran as a double truck (uncredited) in an article on turbo-trainers in Military Airpower back in the mid-80s.

    and now a little eye candy for the PC-7 admirers out there….

    “Taming Sari” – Malaysia (circa 1991)

    Adrian,

    maybe you’ve seen this article already…
    http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_543.shtml

    a couple nice shots with aircrew about half way through the article… the entire team appears to have attended but with only the lead aircraft.

    As an added curiousity, I’ve attached a little shot from Google Earth… appears to have catured a team/the team (they resemble K-8s) at Alexandria (for a show?)

    The attached crest carries a K-8E in the Team colours and would operation by 201 Sqn. Scramble puts that unit attached to the Flying Training Brigade at El Minya – south of Cairo along the Nile ( 28° 5′ 56.000N 30° 43′ 44.000E )

    one sometimes must wonder… ‘who writes this cr@p?’ wouldn’t Germany have had to actually launch an invasion fleet in order to be defeated by the RN?
    Was it not Herman’s precious Luftwaffe that was sent out to ‘crush’ the RAF in order to clear the way for the invasion? That was the Battle of Britain – the RAF (and others) vs the Luftwaffe… not some pipe dream scrawled by some reject from ‘Revisionists R Us’

    … Even third world countries such as Brazil, South Africa and Canada produce more home grown aircraft than the UK. 🙂

    Hey, hey, hey…. easy on the name calling 😉 Third world??? I, for one, am a proud, loyal citizen of a not-so-third-world-member of the Commonwealth… 😉 🙂 and equally proud of my British ancestry.

    That leads me to wonder if the Iraqi AF had formed an aerobatic team just prior to the war, or was planning to? :confused:

    Scale Aircraft Modelling Vol 13, No. 12 (1991) carried top, bottom and port side drawings (by Mike Keep) of Iraqi Tucano ‘6707’ in this scheme.

    After perusing the posts on this thread I had been thinking along similar lines. Pardon my reposting of a couple of these shots, the first one is of course a nice tight 4-ship diamond in what appears to be standard training scheme(second shot), but the the third shot I stumbled upon over the winter makes me think there may have indeed been a team.

    it certainly looks like it could be – the airframe proportions look right… another possibility is the PC-9 – anyone see/hear anything about where they might be based? I believe they were delivered in the same green as the PC-7s

    from Google Earth – one FULCRUM on the ramp at Mingaladon… certainly not easily hidden.

    Colling Foundation B17G ‘Nine O Nine’ and B24 ‘Witchcraft’… both within the last hour headed East along the St. Lawrence to Massena, New York for a three day visit – available for yours and rides.

    You do realise that she is Ginger Baker’s daughter, don’t you?

    I never did realize that. I’m not overly P/C but there’s always been something rather ‘disturbing’ about that cover. Anyone ever hear his 90s work with ‘Sunrise on the Sufferbus’? Can’t post the cover ’cause its got a bunny and a bike (no aircraft).

    Here, I found the GBAF cover… and another…

    Here’s a couple neat ones I stumbled upon the other day… firstly, F-80 – early in Korean conflict, and Secondly, a little ‘Extra’ work from haute-voltige.com – some very neat stuff on that site.

    ok, here’s a thoroughly forgetable album – one of Neil Young’s ‘throw away’ recordings in 1986 to fulfill his contract if I remember correctly – here’s the art from the Cassette (the version on vinyl wrapped around the sleeve)
