Thanks,
J.V.
I am working on it Peter. I’ll PM you or send a reply here when I am shure of my solution. 😮
Of to browse!
J.V.
The only question now is why it took so long.

You might also want to take a look here with the correct serial numbers of the Sabre survivors 😉 :

This Sabre has sn 47-606. Another clue maybe.
And on this link you can see the first F86A-1 delivered to the USAF had serial number 47-605 so 47-606 must be the second one.

The Sabre is one of the most beatufull jets for me. I was Lucky to see one for the first time in my life flying at Lelystad. Also these birds look great! 😎
1. The museums website does say thet this was the second production model ordered by the USA. See this link:

The Sabre C-GBUI has cn 1710 and was also used by the RCAF as a target tug aircraft.
Take also a look here with info about the use of target drone QF-86E’s such as C-GBUI:

I need to sit down a bit. Many many thanks for posting those nice historic colour pics. And keep em comming (if its possible). Many of thes pics are new to me! 🙂
Greets,
J.V.
Nice pics GDL. That pic of the Lagg3 in japanese markings is something new to me. Very interesting!
Thanks for posting.
J.V.
Those scale productions improve by the day Daz. The one on your pic proves that.
Nice!

Here in Belgium we got a dutch song wich goes as follows:
Ik was verliefd op een airhostes,
t’was in een DC6.
Translated:
I was in love with a airhostes,
It was in a DC6.
The song is a romantic adventure in a DC6. This guy just travels the world in a DC6 to be with the love of his life (sadly not the DC6 :rolleyes: ) He flies to London, San Francisco, Hong Kong and Las Vegas. He must be a very rich guy to travel to those destinations each week. :p
PS: The artists name is Will Tura.

Scottish cats can sleep for up to 18 hours at a time. Trust me, I know!
Is that all? :confused: Why should I thrust you on this one :p (Just wonder myself). How did you acquire this knowledge? Is that cat from the pic a scottish cat? What is the influence of alcohol on the sleeping behaviour of (scottish) cats?
J.V.
What an animal! This must be a cat living on the edge! I never saw my cat drinking a can of beer. Where is this going to stop! 😮
I urge to start with a group which can help addicted pets! :p
How about the AAP: Anonymous Addicted Pets.

Where are my sunglasses. 😎 What a great list of attending aircrafts. Sadly I wasn’t born yet at that time. That is one of the reasons I could not attend. 😉
Thanks for posting these pics Mark, so that after all these years we can enjoy these birds in colour.
J.V.
That is a very nice model. In my opinion it was worth buying it! 😎
J.V.
This proves again that a corsait is a stong plane (as many other WWII planes). But that bird shure proved to be a expensive one! 😮
J.V.
Very nice, Peter. Thanks for posting 🙂
I think I hear a echo……… 😎
