Note that the Meteors Mk.8 used by 323 squadron were equipped with the late type canopy, modified ailerons and usually enlarged air intakes. The Matchbox kit allows you to build a Meteor with this modifications.
Piet Miedema, member of the technical crew of the Meteor demo team of squadron 323, told me the Meteor flew sometimes with the smaller and sometimes with the enlarged air intakes.
The Meteors of the display usual had the enlarged intakes, but the aircraft of the leader was equipped with small intakes, so it was a bit slower!

The wings was partially redesigned in order to get a large range and aerodynamic improvements.
The prototype made its first flight in September 1985.
Production started in 1987 with construction-number 1000. From construction-number 1214 an operated version was released under the designation GIV-SP.
Later the type-designation was changed in G400.

- released in 2002 for short range.
- G450:

An example of this type was bought early nineties and is used for fast VIP transport. This aircraft was bought on the second hand market and completely overhauled. During the operational use a number of problems occured, so a few years ago the electrical wiring was completely replaced.
This particular Gulfstream IV proved to have been used by Gulfstream for testing purposes and its cabling was modified.

History
The Gotha WD.11 (WD = Wasser Doppeldecker) was designed as a torpedo-bomber.
In fact it was a development of the Gotha WD.7, but it was much larger and had more powerful engines. The pilot and the observer/gunner sat in a small fuselage in open cockpits. The undercarriage consisted of two floats.
Twelve examples were built.

On this page you can find several drawings of special schemes applied on F-16s because of the jubilee of the squadrons.
This overview is far from complete.
In case you have information like (copies of) drawings used to spray the aircraft, detail photos, etcetera, please contact me, so I might be able to complete or correct this overview.
General-Dynamics F-16A Block 15: Display 1988: 75 Years RNlAF J-864.
During the season 1987 - 1988 air base Volkel hosted the F-16 display team, which was done by squadron 312 with flying officer captain Henry Schevers.
Initially a standard F-16 was used, but early 1988 J-864 received special 75 years RNlAF markings.
Once again smokewinders were used.

NATO -TIGERS
Within the Royal Netherlands Air Force there is one so-called 'Tiger"-squadron, no 313 squadron.
Intially the main task of this squadron was advanced training. The squadron marking was a bird of prey flying over an airstrip. When the Northop NF-5 was withdrawn from use in 1988 and 313 squadron received the General-Dynamics F-16, the task also changed and the squadron wanted to changed their squadron marking. In 1990 it was decided to choose the tiger.
Since that time 313 squadron RNlAF is a member of the NATO Tiger.
TigerMeet 1991: RAF Fairford, United Kingdom
Because of the TigerMeet at Fairford two F-16A's of 313 squadron, J-012 and J-004 received a nice Tiger-tail.
