This photograph captures the sleek and powerful Nord 262D-51 95 / F-RBAR / AR (msn 95) of the Armee de l'Air, the French Air Force, as it gracefully touches down at RAF Finningley on the 22nd of September, 1990. The Nord 262D-51 is a versatile and agile military transport aircraft, which was originally designed and manufactured by Nord Aviation in the late 1950s. This particular aircraft, bearing the registration number F-RBAR and assigned to the AR unit, is seen here in its later configuration as a light transport aircraft, capable of carrying up to 18 passengers or 2,500 kg of cargo. The Nord 262D-51 is a twin-engine turboprop aircraft, featuring a T-tail and a high-mounted wing design. Its advanced design and impressive performance made it a popular choice among military and civilian operators alike. In military service, it was used for various roles, including transport, liaison, and training. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the Nord 262D-51 as it was still in active service with the Armee de l'Air. The aircraft's distinctive markings and the backdrop of RAF Finningley's runway add to the authenticity and historical significance of this image. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of military aviation and the impressive capabilities of the Nord 262D-51, which continues to be a beloved and iconic aircraft among aviation enthusiasts and historians.
