ROYAL THAI NAVY It is intended that this page will ultimately include as full a listing as possible of the aircraft operated by the Royal Thai Navy. This listing is largely based on personal observations and research, with thanks also due to the Royal Thai Navy, many Air Britain publications, Malcolm Fillmore (Tiger Moths), Jeremy Parkin (helicopters), Aad Neeven (F-27’s), Marco Dijkshoorn (Scramble), Derek King, Jack Friell (Albatross’s), Ed Young’s “Aerial Nationalism – A History of Aviation in Thailand” (Smithsonian 1995), Erik van Helvoort (visit report), Bob Boxhill (visit report), Dave Wilton (USN data), Peter-Michael Gerhardt (German types), Jan Forsgren, Jack Friell (HU-16’s), George Kernahan (USN data), Phil Yeadon, the ‘Scramble’ team and others. Thanks are due to Vidya Tapasanan for information on Japanese aircraft operated by the Royal Thai Navy. The Thai Navy first established an air arm in 1938. According to the British Naval Attache, on 1-Dec-49 the naval air arm had 33 officers and 433 men, largely at Sattahip. A new naval air base was established at Chantaburi 1949. Following their support for an unsuccessful coup in June 1951 all their aircraft (including Helldivers, Magisters, Widgeons, Bonanzas etc) were transferred to the Thai Air Force where they formed Wing 7; other aircraft intended for the Navy such as the Fireflies were delivered directly to the Air Force. An independent naval air arm was not re-established until the 1962 delivery of two HU-16 Albatross. Other websites which refer to Royal Thai Navy aviation include:- Vidya Tapasanan’s Thai Navy site

Serial number system Initially, until the 1970’s, aircraft usually wore serials derived from their previous USAF serial, BuNo or c/n, e.g. Tracker ‘415’ was ex Bu136415. Since then however the serial has been based on the squadron allocation. A three-figure system was first in use. The first figure denoted the Squadron and the last two the individual aircraft serial, e.g. Bell 212 ‘405’ was 4 Squadron aircraft 5. In the early 1990’s (before 1996) however the unit designations were extended, and a four-figure aircraft serial system introduced. The first two numbers denote the unit, and the last two the individual aircraft serial. For example, Cessna T337 ‘1311’ is 103 Squadron (‘13’) aircraft 11; AV-8S ‘3104’ is 301 Squadron (‘31’) aircraft 4. Certain aircraft span all three systems, e.g. Tracker Bu136416 has been serialled 416, 102 and 1102 successively.

The list below summarises aircraft operated by the RTN. An attempt has been made to list the aircraft chronologically:-

(1993) Lockheed P-3 Orion

Three ex USN P-3A ordered 1989. Deliveries delayed because of financial problems and government changes in Thailand. In Sep/Oct-93 the Orions destined for Thailand arrived at the NADEP at NAS Jacksonville, where the aircraft were modified to meet RTN requirements. Two aircraft were modified to P-3T (mainly based on the TAC/NAV Mod version) and delivered in Feb-95. The third was originally delivered as a UP-3T in late 1995, but was later modified to VP-3T standard with a strengthened floor, passenger seats and a limited SENTAC station, enabling the aircraft to perform light surveillance duties. The first Thai P-3 crews were trained by VP-30 at NAS Jacksonville and by Logistic Services International on location in Thailand. RTN also received two ex USN P-3A's for use as parts ships.
