Poland received 110 Potez XV A2 reconnaissance aircraft and XV B2 light bombers from France from 1924. Another 100 A2s were built by Plage i Laśkiewicz and 35 by PWS. From 1927 until about 1935 they were used as trainers and the photo is dated 1935 by the source. We are assuming that construction numbers were used as serials by the Polish military, as in France and Germany. Cropped photo; 437 / A2 and others are in the background.

435 was one of three C-130s that performed a fly past at Ramat David, together with 428 and 545.

This Magister, seen here in a hangar at Metz-Frescaty during the open day in 1985, later became F-AZZE in a red colour scheme.

435 was delivered new to Israel in May 1976 under the Peace "Bata IV" Foreign Military Sales Program (US FY # 75-0536). The civilian registration 4X-FBT was sometimes applied for international trips. However, this was most certainly not the case when it took part in a clandestine operation called "Kadur Ra'am" in hebrew (Thunderbolt) on July 4, 1976, a bare two month after being delivered. On that day, an israeli "delegation" of four C-130's and an undisclosed number of IDF special forces paid a surprise visit to Entebbe, Uganda and rescued some 100 Jews held hostage by terrorists.

Spare aircraft of the Al Fursan team, with one of the UAE C-17s overlooking. No external serial was carried but note in the cockpit showed radio call-sign as '435' which ties with a known serial. Plate on instrument panel carried '157'
