This link should take you to a collection of 75 or so display boards that we have prepared to accompany the exhibits in our museum.

Been in data comm since we formed the bits individually with a Morse key.

Extremely impressive detail here John. How long did it take you guys to assemble this?

Thanks TGG, you have to bear in mind that these boards are displayed next to our example of the described aircraft, engine of whatnot and that the photographs on the board are not necessarily depicting our particular thing.

I guess these are the product of a couple of years or more dedicated effort and we have quite a few more to do.

I was also very interested in the detail on the Aermacchi. The MB-326 was flown by the SAAF, where it was designated as the Atlas Impala, being built under licence by Atlas Aircraft. They were used as primary trainers, and were the steed of the the Silver Falcons aerobatics team, but also saw heavy use in combat in Angola where they were used in the ground attack role.
