Scramble March 2023

On 6 February 2023 southern and central Türkiye and northern and western Syria was hit by a devastating earthquake, with more than 45,000 people losing their lives and 115,000 injured. This triggered a global rescue mission and an airbridge to Türkiye, in order to provide humanitarian relief aid.

We compiled an article listing the aircraft that were involved in that rescue mission, to give an overview of the enormity it entailed. It is by no means a definitive list, but should be an indication of the enormous effort that was provided.

On a happier note, we have lots of aviation information for you to digest. Also, our yearly publications (SWAF and SMS EU) are almost finished and should be ready for order soon. Keep an eye out on our social media channels for more information.

The monthly sections and articles can be found at: Movement Netherlands, Movements Belgium, Movements Elsewhere Military, Military Updates, Civil Updates, Soviet Updates, Dustpan & Brush and Wrecks & Relics and this month's article are at articles.

We are always on the lookout for articles and pictures, so if you feel like you want to contribute then get in touch with us via civ@scramble.nl or mil@scramble.nl

Photo: The Grob G-180 SPn was Grob Aerospace’s attempt to get a foothold in the business aviation market. With strong competition from among others Embraer, Cessna, Learjet, etc., they could not make the programme work, and only four were built in the end. D-CSPN was the prototype (90001) and these days can be admired in the Deutsches Museum München, Germany. (26 January 2023, Martin Bach)
