On display near the entrance of the Aeronauticum is Sea Hawk Mk.101 RB+363 of MFG-2. The aircraft served as ‘Langstrecken Radar Aufklärer’, although the starboard underwing-pod housing the Ekco 38B radar is lacking here.
This aircraft was one of 28 German Sea Hawks sold to the Indian Navy for service with INS 300 aboard the INS Vikrant aircraft carrier. After phase-out from Indian service, Sea Hawk IN238 was presented to the Marineflieger in 1996.
Jagel’s F-104G gate guard was delivered new to JBG-33 at Büchel Air Base as DC+245 in November 1962 and was re-serialled later as 20+81. After her active service the 104 was placed here at the east gate on 21 December 1981 as ‘23+81’ of MFG-1.
