Sturmovik Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Here are two photos I took while I was going back to MDQ´s airport for my return trip to Buenos Aires. Translated from this link: First flown in England on April 4th 1948. Assigned to the 4th Interceptor-Fighter Regiment (Regimiento de Caza Interceptora) as I-073. Flight of acceptance in Argentina on September 19th 1949. Transferred to the 3rd Interceptor-Fighter group and re-registered as C-073. Discharged on December 30th 1970 due to flying hours limit, being the Gloster with most flight hours on the Air Force. It´s now a gate guardian on the entrance to the BAM MDQ with the fictional registration of I-071. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year will mark the 10th aniversary of this aircraft as a gate guardian, it was in mint condition 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
