Indian A.F 'Cub'

Haven't visited the site for a while so it's nice to see it's still going strong. Great photo's JW411 of the Antonov An-12. I saw two in Jan' and two in Feb' 1966. I too took the opportunity to have a look inside one and I was particularly interested in the climb up to the rear "gun turret." I was at Khan Creek swimming when 3 took off on 27th Feb. Typical, the one day in the week you have a trip out and I missed them! ATC told me that they(L450/1 & 2) were on delivery to the IAF.
Even nicer are the Provost pic's. I only ever saw one SOAF a/c at Sharjah during my time there and that was a Beaver. Would have been a real treat to have seen some Provosts though. Keep the photo's coming and the stories - great! I must scan some more of mine...................
