Great to see, remember them visiting Lossiemouth on many occasions.
Cheers.

Very nice pics. Thanks for posting. I was lucky enough to see around 90 NF-5s delivered through Lossie, and bagged the remainder over subsequent years at airshows and airfield visits. If I remember correctly some of the earlier delivery aircraft had a penguin painted on the forward fuselage. A lovely little aircraft!

These were regular Binbrook visitors but unfortunately their visits never coincided with mine altho' I did get to see some Norwegian examples on one of the Priory Exercises in the '80s.
