Following all other sources, the date of the crash is the 9 (not the 15) of June.
I can add that, in this time, my father (who worked for the Militayr Geographical Institute) was present in Albertville and saw the accident). The pane was full of oxygen bottles (the Dakota wasn't pressurised), wich exploded as bombs. He also saw one of the crew (co-pilot?) escaping through the (very narrow) triangular window of the cockpit. Regards Philou

Dear All Aviation Enthusiasts
I own Lockheed C-2 ejection seat from an F - 104G, it is made by Canadair with P/N 792987-101 l4 and S/N LS683D / 6017 under Contract No AF 33 / 657 / 9261, which I have restore to 60% original and which I use as a desk chair in my office at home. In order to improve it I would like to know if it possible to find items like the Survival Kit pack, Parachute pack (empty) or the oxygen houses etc to bring it as close to the original as possible. (I had find it back in 1993 in junk Scrapyard with ex military staff) Thank you in advance for your time and concern to my query. Kind Regards aetosjm

Please, I would like to know if there is anyone who can help me. I am looking forward some information about the mirage which did not crashed in 1973, some killometers out of Souda The other 2 ...BA 32, BA 38 did and unfortunately both of the pilots died...but the third plane when they decided to return in Souda due to the bad weather, I thought he was flying higher than the others, so thats why he didn't crashed into Mount Kaloros as the others two did. I know that he landed in the gulf Souda. If i had Just the name of him and his aircraft. Thaks anyway!

I would love to ask some questions concerning the Hunter F6 story.
1. Your comment on the sawtooth being a trademark of the Hunter F6, I would love to refer to the book Luchtstrijdkrachten België in which a picture is published of IF41 with a straight wing! 2. I do not understand why you state in your text 7W received the first F6 while in your aircraft listings 9W received the first aircraft? 3. To my knowledge only 8sq received initially the F6 while 7sq continued to use the F4. When you count the aircraft from your listing you will note that till the end of 59 there were within 7W only sufficient aircraft for 1 squadron. Furthermore you state that in 60 the use of squadron codes is discontinued. So can you explain the picture of IF127. What adds to my confusion is that you give dec60 as delivery date of this aircraft to 7W! Can you please cjarify! 4. You state that 9W was disbanded in feb60, while the squadrons only disbanded in april 60 and the wing in jun60. If I take your list in april 60 you have the last aircraft leaving. 5. I do not get the connection between your 9 wing in the text and the 9 Wing Missiles. The latter receiving this name on 17sep63! The first Nike unit 3 WETSA was formed 06oct59 and was renamed 13 Wing. So..... 6. Your picture of IF61 seems to depict the same aircraft as you picture of IF81, but on the other side....am I correct?

Are you sure that the FX48 ended in Beauvechain? Your stories of FX47 and FX48 are very similar (use of the tail of FX69 for both planes).
I don't find any othe mention of the presence of FX48 for preservation in Beauvechain and the website 'www.scramble.nl' gives it as sent to Taiwan. I have no other source. Regards Philou

I'm the owner of the former Belgian Air Cadet ASK-13 PL-66.
Contrary to what is written on the site, this ASK-13 was not sold to Germany. It is still based at Temploux-Suarlée airfield but flies under german registration. First It got a f Belgian registration OO-YBV in november 2004 till june 2006.Due to new EASA rules (anticipated by the Belgian authorities) it went in Germany for overhaul and was registered there for facility reasons.

I think there is an error about the ultimate fate of 'IF56'. Although, it was a time though it was among the Hunters offered by Kuweit to Oman, it wasn't the case. It was offfered (via UK) to the Chilean AF after the Falklands War. Although, it received a Chilean serial (741), it probably never flew in Chile et was rapidly used as a source of spares. The serial (Fokker) of the RAOF '803', pr'reserved, is '8930'

Hunter T.59 never existed. The Iraqi 2-seaters were T.69 (an a leased T.66A), while the single seaters were Hunters F.59 and FGA.59A (plus some unmodified ex RAF Hunters F.6)

The story of the cat.4 accident is even more 'funny'. Qfter some troubles during the approch, the pilot decided to eject at low altitude but its plane landed alone untill arrested by a walle having its nose section crushed.

For 1997, a T-33A bearing the USAF No. 53-5725 is exhibited in the Yelsilkoi (Ankara) Museum in Turkey, but the authenticity of this number is not sure.
