Behind the maintenance hangar was the fuselage and wing of ex Botswana AF PC-7 OD-4.
There are also still the old part of the Argentine PC-6.
Also noted in the maintenance hangar was a wing that was marked as first Malaysian wing number 100.

PC-7 OD4 stored outside(no cockpit), HB-HMX (ex OD1)
And finally visitors/overflyers:
AS.332 T-320
PC-7 A-918, A-937 +1
This is the first tie up between a Modular number and a serial I think. The other two primer fuselages were also destined for Oman, but the font on the paper was really too small to read the future serials. Any info on these would be very welcome! The old Omani fuselages that were reported outside before, weren't seen.
All in all a great score, with only no Omani photographed unfortunately. We expected to get a few Indians as well, but after returning I learned that the last ones had just been delivered.
