Model on the shelf in the background.

Douglas DC-3 of SABENA.

Beechcraft E18S

Possibly registration ZS-OIJ, c/n BA-428, seen during a brief period when it was not equipped with an extended nose.

Fouga CM.170 Magister

(right edge) Note the Katangese roundel.

Douglas DC-4 (CGI)

Portraying DC-6B registration SE-BDY, c/n 43559/251 of TSA-Transair Sweden which Dag Hammarskjöld was killed in when it crashed on 18 September 1961. However, the round windows give this model away as a DC-4 rather than a DC-6.

McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II

The film portrays Dag Hammarskjöld's plane as being shot down by an F-4 Phantom II. In reality, the cause of the crash is disputed, however the use of an F-4 here is particularly questionable as the only operator of the type at the time was the United States.

Bell UH-1 Iroquois

Identity of this airframe unknown. Was serial 8365 just applied for filming?

Lockheed C-130 Hercules
