Aermacchi AM3C Bosbok ZU-ADT and ZU-ACR. ACR is still sporting the logo as no.3 of the 42 Sqn formation display team "Spikes".
ADT used to be se.949 and ACR was ser.946. The pics were taken at the Margate Airshow on 12 May 1994.

Five in the US, some have changed hands but I’m aware of four that are flying there. Two in Australia.
