Last active as BB-131 with the Luftwaffe in January 1960, this Sabre was first taken on charge by the RCAF in March 1954. It went to Germany in September 1957 and was preserved at various locations until arriving in Bochum in late 1988. Of the different colour schemes it got here, the pink one was probably the ugliest, and this one the dullest - but at least it survived.

I see with no little regret that this preserved Sabre 5 carried much more interesting paint schemes in the past.

Forward deployed in the Darfur area, this Mi-24P. The Mi-24P is similar to the Mi-24V but differs in cannon armament. Whereas the Mi-24V is armed with a 12.7mm Yak-B minigun in a nose turret the Mi-24P has a twin barrel 30mm GSh-30K autocannon alongside the cockpit.

This Invader is on loan from the USAF museum (ex USAAF 44-35440) and preserved in false Fuerza Aérea de Liberación (FAL) marks to commemorate the Bay of Pigs Invasion in 1961.
