Scramble 469


The Alouette is in a hangar near the museum, while the Noral-

pha was in one of the hangars at the west side together with

MH1521M 13/F-GJBF (stored) and L-4J 44-80732/F-BFQD.

Correcting EMOOS 2018. The bare metal C-47 under restora-

tion is C-47A F-BLOZ/42-93251, not C-47B FAZOX/12925. The

AZOX is still flying and both were noted at the air show in

May. Dropped out in the final EMOOS print is AT-6C F-AZBE

(ex H-29/Belgium, ex 41-33606, painted as 43-12127/TA-127). It

is still active here.

The Association pour le Renaissance du Caudron Simoun and

hangar was destroyed in a fatal crash on 8 April 2018.

toration after its accident in July 2015, has returned and is

flying again. It is with Aéroclub Hispano Suiza on the other

Altamura (BA)

MM54198/16 MB326 preserved 6203 aug17

The MB326 is preserved at the aviosuperficie Ceraso Il Nido

delle Aquile at N40.93902, E16.49572. It shows at Google Earth

already in place in March 2011.

Capua

The rotorless CH-47 noted here since 2003 is not a mock-up

but a real aircraft. It should be MM80836/EI-814 and came

from storage at Agusta at Frosinone. As the aircraft is still

visible on Google Earth at Capua in August 2017, the sightings

of the aircraft at Viterbo in 2017 must have been in error.

The Flugplatz Museum Cottbus received two UH-1Ds late last year. One of them is this unmarked 71+01 in the storage area. Behind it is another

recent arrival, Sabre 6 BB+237. (12 May 2018, Václav Kudela)
