Junkers JU-52 on the apron. Note lots of snow and yet all taxiways and the runway appeared to be clear even though this place doesn't seem to see many (hardly any?) movements!

Storch again
Whittle engine. Small piece of trivia, I used to work at what was once the original Power Jets site at Whetstone near Leicester.
Licence-built A-S Mamba, one of four powering the N-20 Aiguillon indigenous fighter
DH-112 Venom
DH-100 Vampire
Even this Goblin engine was licence produced in Switzerland. Lots of British kit in this hall, but almost all of it made here in Switzerland
N-20 Aiguillon. This was cancelled by the Swiss government and they bought Hunters instead
Nose-mounted camera pod of a Mirage IIIRS
The tail of the Aiguillon. Some seriously strange looking nozzles!
Reconaissance variant of the Mirage (IIIRS)
Snecma Atar from the Mirage
The "hot end" of the Atar. The afterburner appears to be longer than the engine itself
Hunter
Hunters remained in service until 1994 in the ground attack role. Consequently there seemed to be a much wider and more modern array of weapons and ordnance around it than we would ever have had. I believe this could even carry sidewinders!
One such example is this AGM-65 Maverick
I'd never realised just how long the exhaust nozzle of the Hunter is (or conversely, just how short an Avon is)
FLORIDA (FLugsicherungs Operations Radar IDentifikation Alarm) control panel, alerting the Swiss to intruders in their airspace from 1965 until 2003
RR Avon from a Hunter
DH-115 Vampire trainer - for me, the most aesthetic of the Vampire/Venom family
A stripped down and varnished DH-115 fuselage, the plywood of the fuselage skin is about 12mm thick
An early Vampire cockpit
FFA P-16. Another cancelled Swiss fighter. The wings of this have some commonality with the original Learjet although sources differ as to whether they are physically common or whether simply the design concept is common
Maintenance "scene" with the Venom
Contrast and compare the wing planforms of the Venom and Vampire
Beech 18
Vampire
Aiguillon. I have doubts about how these intakes would have performed in a tight turn!
DH-115 Vampire
Some of you may remember my post from Axalp last year. This shows a map of the area with the airfield in the valley to the right of the picture and the arrows showing the various circuits to the ridge where the targets are placed
And a relief model of the same area. The Brienz lake is to the left and the small ridge where the targets are placed is more or less in the centre of hte image in the small valley. The taller ridge at the north side of the valley, running roughly from bottom left to top right is where the spectators stand
Looking down into the DH-115 cockpit
Several P-16s were built before this too was cancelled in favour of buying Hunters
A De Havilland Snow Vampire
Thanks very much for sharing them. Love that wooden model of the Venom.
