Sierra Leone... (post 158 in Small A/F thread #16..)
One more 'historic' A/F ???
Sierra Leone ....
thanks for your pics, Greg...
their Puma seems to be a military one, BUT when was taken that picture ? (photo # 220109... in which site ??)
I'm afraid the SLAF is now an HISTORIC one ; found in Wikipedia (last modified on 25 May 2013) :
The Republic of Sierra Leone Air Force was merged with the other services to form the RSL Armed Forces from 2002. Sierra Leone has a very small air component with a limited offensive capability. The status of its equipment is unknown, but the aircraft are not operable
to deduct from THE AFM poster ??:apologetic: ??

meanwhile..... see the post # 164 ! with thanks to Archangelski...!

Hi Etienne
just heard that the new version of John Cochrane's book on Roundels of the world will be released as a single volume by Crecy instead of the split 2 volume planned

Good Analysis
Kervyn - my compliments - very good analysis in such a short time - you must be a big enthusiast :eagerness: like me
I have been informed by AFM in another forum that the misisng country roundels is due to "no aircraft" in those countries
Can you point out what is wrong with the roundels of ; Angola, Seychelles, Monténégro ?

TAMIL TIGERS
at first, I have to tell they NOT were/are a real country... (as for Abkhazia...)
indeed, they had some Zlin-143's... but without markings;( i've found only wreck views in camo-schemes...)

Thanks Kervyn = i thought as much that there was no logo
In my recent trip to the famous Waterstones in London - found a very nostalgic book - Big Book of Flight
http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/0593070313/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_btm?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending
it had 4 pages on defunct roundels which was quite interesting - Perhaps Gerard will expand his excellent web cite and put more text into it
