RMAF Avon-Sabre

[Simon Beck 0]

I'm looking to put together a definitive listing of serial numbers for the

RMAF Avon-Sabre, all ex-RAAF Sabre Mk.32 fighters.

 

I believe there was 18 in service all up.

 

Thank you.

Simon, perhaps this site will help:

Look for 'RAAF Series 2' in the title bar and, after clicking on that, 'A94 - CAC CA-26/CA-27 Sabre' in the listing.

 

Should be able to get the serials from there.

There is also one at Jugra marked "REJ62" no idea of its real identity.

 

Here's a picture of it.

Thanks for sharing, Geoff There's also a Sabre in the middle of a roundabout inside the Sungai Besi Army Camp but I've no info on its identity.

If I'm not mistaken,there is a jet preserved at RMAF Bukit Ibam,Pahang but unsure if it's a Sabre or Skyhawk.

I thought the one on the roundabout was in the Air Force Academy but I may be wrong. The aircraft is FM1946 but I don't have a photo.

 

Here are photos of FM1905 at the Muzeum Sultan Abu Bakar in Pekan - taken in late 2009.

Ecellent replies!!! What prompted me to start this thread was

that on a recent trip to Sungai Besi I photographed details

of the Sabre on display there with s/n: FM-1907 and inside was

a panel with "A94-365" on it indicating its original RAAF

s/n.

 

But most sources quote this Sbare as being FM-1905. Is it

possible this is the actual Sabre simply marked as "FM-1907"?

If I'm not mistaken,there is a jet preserved at RMAF Bukit Ibam,Pahang but unsure if it's a Sabre or Skyhawk.

 

I would be interested to find out what is there. Anybody passed the base recently?

Is it possible to provide the GPS coordinates from where this picture was taken?

Would like to visit this place during my next trip to Malaysia this summer.

If you type N2 49' 10" E101 27' 10" into google maps and zoom in you will see it just North of Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad.

 

I don't know its identity so if you do find out anything please let me know.

Excellent, thanks for the quick responce.

 

Additional information on the FM-1904 at the Taiping Museum.

During my visit to the museum 30/7/2005 I inspected the plane and under the paint on the nose

wheel door 04 could be read. This confirmes that it's the real one.
