Not that I could even come close, but can anyone name all these?

Lots of rare European types, 5 Ju52;s!!!

I love the Tante Ju, South Africa actually bought and operated some as commercial airliners.

Ah, the deHavilland Dove. Many a trip between San Juan & C’sted c1964. I can’t remember whether the carrier was Virgin Island Airways or CaribAir.

In either case, each and every trip was memorable in some manner. Not usually in a good way. No matter what the weather, if and when you dared look out the window, water would be streaming horizontally by on the Plexiglas. Salt water.[X(]

Spanish air force operated them into the 60's. As a kid vacationing on the beach near Valencia in '68 I saw a trio fly over. As I remember, they were slow, very slow.

Is Vettel flying those Red Bulls?[:D]

Same with me, except it was PrinAir and it was a de Havilland Heron (a stretched 4E Dove). Boy, oh boy! I got stories of Captain Gonzales (Gonzo) on the threshold at St Thomas. Gosh, I love those oldie planes; back when men were men and planes were planes. Good to know there's at least one old man out there who's also flown righteous in the Caribbean. Ciao. J

The Aussie version of the Dove was the Drover, but with a 3rd motor in the nose!

£14,000 unit cost? Tell him he's dreamin'.

Hurricane IIb (XIIb really), after that was some other stuff that's not as good as a Hurri [;)]

That one in Swiss markings has me stumped. I've never seen anything like it. Does anyone have a clue?

EDIT: After some googling, if I had to guess it's a heavily modified Pilatus P-2.

Cheers,

You talking about the one below the Skyraider? if so that's a MS406 French built just before ww2.

The one w/ the triple fin tail is a post ww2 Nord IIRC of some kind forget name offhand
