Pilatus P-2 (multiple)

I photographed this Pilatus P-2-05 taxiing before takeoff at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford during a visit to England in mid-February 2008. Unfortunately, this particular plane was destroyed by vandals a few months later on June 1, 2008.

The Swiss trainer, designed in 1942 and arriving toward the end of WWII, can be seen painted as a Luftwaffe aircraft in the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

The P-2-05 (Duxford) and P-2-06 (Planes of Fame) are similar except the 05 is unarmed.
