Douglas Skyraider at Kemble Airfield, Gloucestershire, England. This Douglas AD-4NA Skyraider 126922 is painted to represent an A-1H '402' of the VA-176 'Thunderbolts' squadron on the USS Intrepid during 1967. This aircraft was originally with the US Marine Corps and later served with the French Air Force in 1960 and the Gabonaise Air Force in 1976. It is painted as a A-1H (AD-6) of attack squadron VA-176 Thunderbolts, which was assigned to Attack Carrier Air Wing Ten (CVW-10) during a deployment to Vietnam on the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid (CVS-11) from 4 April to 21 November 1966. The real aircraft AK-402 was actually A-1H BuNo 134472. It was later transferred to the South Vietnam Air Force. Flown to Thailand in 1975, it is now on display in the Royal Thai Air Force Museum in US Air Force colours. [1]

Skyraiders first went in to service in 1945.

This aircraft is privately owned and UK registered as G-RAID.
