NORTH & NORTH WEST OF BANGKOK

 (listed south to north)

 

This listing covers wrecks & relics currently (or recently) seen and reported to the north and north west of Bangkok, listed roughly south to north. The main museums, the Thai AF Museum, the Thai Police Museum and ‘Tango Squadron’ are listed separately, as are other geographic areas of Thailand.

 

Latitude & Longitude are given for many locations (cut & paste into Google Earth)

 

This listing is based on personal observations and research. Many exhibits have been closely inspected by the author, and many identities confirmed or corrected from previously published information, based on airframe data plates etc.  ‘Standard’ references such as Bob Ogden’s “Aircraft Museums & Collections of the World : Asia” and Lesley Hunt’s “Veteran and Vintage Aircraft” have also been referred to, and thanks are due to Andy Marden, Martin Best, Rik van der Vet, Tom Milliken and others for their input.

 

Many serials are in Thai script, generally enclosed in “—” below.  # means no external identification
