Stanwell:

The RMAF Museum's "FM-1022" is actually C1-0606, an ex RThAF T.20 (originally coded 62-97). Somewhere along the line it's acquired at Canadian-type spinner (from a Thai DHC-1B perhaps) and the markings differ from the period photos.



India 42:

VH-BBK is currently being painted silver, prior to the markings being applied. The photo you posted shows the aircraft being flown by the owner - the schoolboy in the rear seat is his son, now an RAAF pilot currently undergoing his F/A-18F Super Hornet conversion. How quickly time passes!
