    Banshee post 868
    you posted a pix of Cessna 140 but what country? Use of 140 I only have found reference to Guatamala and Nicaragua using them.
    The pix listed as Pa-34 Navajo is a Beech Baron version?

    May I make a suggestion to all that when posting pixs from many different countries mod the the pix label to reflect country and aircraft instead of just a bunch of numbers.

    Thanks for all the pix’s

    Thanks for the early Iraqi pixs. The one you have labeled Auster is a Cessna O-1/L-19 which I didn’t even know about.

    Thanks again

    According to Hawker Hunter by Francis K. Mason Hunter F.6 XG236 ff Oct 19 1956 del. Nov 9 1956 to No 5 MU, No 66 (F) Sqn (“N”) crashed near Scottish border Feb. 14, 1958. So maybe a promo marking or photoshopped.
