EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we witness the Royal Thai Air Force's (RThAF) GAF Nomad 22B, registration number VH-UVJ (msn 138), undergoing the final stages of completion at Hawker-Pacific in 1982. The Australian aerospace company was responsible for the modification and upgrading of this turboprop transport aircraft for the RThAF. The GAF Nomad, a versatile and robust aircraft, was initially designed and manufactured by Government Aircraft Factory (GAF) in Australia. This particular Nomad, with the military serial number 40232, was delivered to the RThAF in December 1982. The aircraft's acquisition marked a significant addition to the RThAF's fleet, enhancing their aeronautical transport capabilities. As seen in the image, the Nomad 22B is nearing completion at Hawker-Pacific, with various components and systems being installed and tested. The aircraft's distinctive livery, featuring the Royal Thai Air Force insignia, is evident on the fuselage, adding to its regal presence. The Nomad was a popular choice for military and civilian operators due to its versatility and ability to perform various roles, including passenger transport, cargo transport, and maritime patrol. The RThAF's Nomad fleet played a crucial role in supporting the country's military operations and humanitarian missions. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the aviation history of the Royal Thai Air Force and the important role Hawker-Pacific played in upgrading and modifying their Nomad fleet. The completion of this aircraft marked the beginning of its service with the RThAF, paving the way for many successful missions and contributions to the country's aviation sector.
