SK16 over Lebanon

Sweden sent out a UNOGIL air service to Lebanon (topical today!), which served from 1 July to 31 August 1958 and included four Sk16 aircraft. these had been imported into Sweden in 1947 and built in Canada, being NA/Noorduyn AT-16s. They were used for photographic reconnaissance, and were shot at 59 times, being hit on 9 of these occasions. Several of the Swedish pilots were wounded, and at least two were downed by ground fire. Rather a nasty and dangerous assignment.
The SK16s were eventually replaced by 12 Cessna L 19 As.

Great idea... I've been chasing these for months now as well

Here's some fairly recent (this spring) material from Haiti...
Chilean Army Puma
Argentine Air Force B212
Russian Air Force HIP
and overall ramp shot

Next, here's a UNHCR marked Buffalo still wearing the basics of the Canadian Forces SAR paint work.

The UN should add some colour to their aircraft instead of plain white.

Well, during the Katanga secession UN troops did a little more than just platitudes and blanks to re-establish a communist rule!

That would be U-2S. It is possible that the earlier Iraqi missions were a mix of R and S models, but the later missions were most definately S.
