MATS Globemaster II at the modern Kamina airbase during the Congo Crisis. Known as BaKa to the Belgians, this had been a Belgian flying training centre. The Belgian government had also made plans to rule from a 'national redoubt' in Kamina in case of a Soviet occupation of the motherland. Photo by: Gilbert Casselsjö / Flygvapenmuseum
