Will have to check this out for sure, as I'd been planning to repaint a Fouga Magister as flown during Congo crisis in 1960.
"Indian Army personnel were being ambushed, and air strikes were being made by a lone Fouga Magister thought to be flown by a French mercenary named Jacques Delen. This aircraft was being used to fly over Kamina, then held by the 2nd Jats of the Indian Army, to bomb hangars and the transport aircraft which arrived from Leopoldville on supply missions."

There's something about this odd-looking aircraft that appeals to me - thanks for the heads-up, Trev.
