Max Holste MH.1521C Broussard ‘30-QA No005’ (G-CLLK) (53481348278)
c/n 58, l/n 005C Built in 1957, this is the seventh civilian Broussard and was initially used as a company demonstrator. In 1974 it was registered as F-BICX to the Paris based French ministry of youth and sports, but this was cancelled in April 1983. It was Canadian registered as C-GRBL from 2006 to January 2020, when it came to the UK as G-CLLK. Since it’s restoration in Canada it has been painted in full French Air Force markings, very nicely done but not actually relevant to this airframe. Seen on static display at the 2022 Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire, UK 16th July 2022
Interestingly, the two Broussards on static display at Fairford in 2022 were purely civilian G-CLLK in full military markings and ex-military G-HOUR which is in a civilian colour scheme!
