If anyone can help identify the type in the last picture at Spilve, I would be grateful. Only the last three letters of the reg are visible, SFC. A bit of research has revealed the reg to be SP-SFC Lancair

I think it was probably a little bit out of date as it doesn’t include the 134 that I posted. That one was on the airfield until they moved the museum to the other side of the field although it was part of the collection. The 104,124,134 and AN24 at the top are cockpits and there is also a 154 cockpit that was a whole frame 12 years ago. Although I went round back then, it would have been nice to do it again but we couldn’t unfortunately. At least this time there was no snow, I went through the crust taking a pic of the 134 and was up to my waist! Is there a general list for Riga as I could do with identifying some of the stuff in the scrapping area.

We saw the Squirrel in the corner of a hangar but all I could read was 04046 and it was faint. Another one in the book! I have studied the pics I took of the scrapping/parking area on the far side. All bar one are unreadable because of heat haze but I’ve identified five from colour schemes.
