Military training aircraft

Fokker S.11-1 Instructor PH-ACG

This was the initial training aircraft for Dutch military pilots during the sixties and seventies. Nowadays, most remaining aircraft are well-cared for oldtimers

Percival Provost T Mk.1, RAF

This aircraft succeeded the wartime T-6 Harvard in RAF service and formed the basis for the Jet Provost.

Siai-Marchetti SF.260MB ST-35 of the Belgian Air Force

Successor to the SV-4 as a basic trainer in the Belgian Air Force, this Italian 'Ferrari of the air' has proven itself both as an ab-initio and instrument trainer. The aircraft pictured here also formed part of the spectacular Swallows aerobatic team.

Pilatus PC-7 of the Dutch Air Force

RFB Fantrainer

This German training aircraft uses a ducted propellor mounted near the centre of gravity. This produces jet-like handling for propellor-engined prices. Unfortunately, the Fantrainer never achieved the success it actually deserved.

Aero L-29 Delfin, a Czech jet training aircraft.

The result of a drunken pilot ? Or a pilot suffering from dehydration ? No, just a clever pub owner who decided he could use an eyecatcher. And eyecatching it does, this ex Czech Air Force Aero L-29 Delfin, with its nose sticking through the inside of the building !
