Very cool! Number 4 plane from top on the tail of PAF C-130, with a broad nose, does anyone know what kind of plane is that?

It's Bristol Freighter which was one of the most effective propeller from mid 50s till mid 60s.arshad.altaf wrote: ↑Fri Jul 13, 2018 1:21 am Very cool! Number 4 plane from top on the tail of PAF C-130, with a broad nose, does anyone know what kind of plane is that?

The PAF C-130 has achieved second position in a contest at RIAT 2018, according to news sources. Probably second position/1st Runner Up in Concours d'Elegance competition?

The tail and the eagle's face on fuel tank was good. Whatever they did on the front seem little bit over.

I was there yesterday. It could not have been parked any further away in the airfield. I know quite a few Pakistanis who stuggled to find it. Even the information desk at RIAT 2018 were not helpful. A friend of mine was told that Pakistan had cancelled! My friend had a choice of words for that guy (quitely off course) and then went on to find Pakistani stand.
It was a great show though.
