No pics but a couple of observations on the Philippines AF from when I was at Manilla & Clark during the first two weeks of this month.
Noted at NAIA were 3 F-27's on the Villamor AB side of the airport. They were there in September last year as well. Two look u/s but one (maybe) flyable. Also seen was one of the presidential Bell 412EP's.

Spotted at Clark was an An-124 which (i assume) was delivering the first 4
W-3 helo's to the PAF. Anyone with PAF knowledge know or care to speculate which unit will get them? 15th Strike Wing? 205th Helicopter Wing?

Finally, when leaving Manilla, i saw 2 grey USMC C-9's. AFAIK they are the only USMC examples, the USN C-9's being white/grey. Seeing both together on the other side of the world from their home base would of been worth a photo, if only the camera hadn't been in the baggage hold....

SAR 2012: Irish Coast Guard to receive UK MCA S-92s in 2013

The Irish Coast Guard’s new Sikorsky S-92A will commence operations from its Shannon SAR base in July, with the remaining four aircraft expected to transfer from the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) contract in Scotland during 2013, according to CHC Ireland.

At the SAR Europe conference in Dublin on 15 March, representatives for the company outlined the introduction activities for the aircraft, which is part of a comprehensive fleet-wide replacement programme for the Irish Coast Guard.

A few more.

Anyone have anything from Ethiopia? Specifically, I'm looking for Mi-14 Hazes. Apparently they have 2x Mi-14PL models. Also, any pictures of the Su-25Ts,Su-25UBKs, Su-27/ Su-27UB or An-32s they operate (or operated)?I've seen a few pics of the baseline Su-27s, but so far none of the UB model. Also, they supposedly got some IL-38s, but I would suspect these were Russian planes operating FROM Ethiopia rathern the Ethiopian AF planes.

Thanks Alex. I was just trying to try up what i saw at Kigali a couple of years back - a few Hinds and Hips, includig one in the dark green/cream colours that you've shown. There was also a Noratlas but not that one - T-01 if i remember correctly. There was also an AN-32 derelict with a 9XR- reg.
