Ex Zaire AF T-28s, they were joined by a fourth I think, and a fifth crashed en-route and can now be found at a museum in Norfolk. I think Ted White/Euroworld was the owner. They were there for some months and eventually went to the US.
There were 2 or 3 at Blackbushe at about the same time. I think I was told Doug Arnold bought them from the Moroccan Air Force.
HM Customs got to hear about them and prosecuted him for importing 'articles of war' without a licence!
