Rob I don't find 44-85710 on Goodall's List. Did you mean 44-85778?

Minor (nit-picky) correction: The F-5B would be from Northrop, not North American.

Interesting list of cool stuff, for sure!

A couple of aircraft on the list interest me, I always thought the York went from Dan Air to the Duxford Aviation Society. Secondly do you have any dates for when F4U 4B Bu 97359 was with Doug Arnold.

I don't see the Focke Wulf 190 listed

The enthusiast in me is very excited to see this list, but the pedant can't help but point out:
- it's spelled Focke-Wulf
- the 2.111E and 252Ls were built by CASA, the Ha.1112 by Hispano

There were some out of Morocco, and possibly Zaire too.

There were also Pembrokes out of Belguim, that were sold on and mostly ended up as drug smugglers in the U.S.

A whole bunch of ex-Spanish AF C-47s
