AW109 Power maritime helicopters. This is the very first aircraft operated by the Bangladesh Navy since its creation on 1971.

Note: Sorry, couldn't find any picture in Bangladesh Navy colors. But is it likely to look very similar to the picture given.

Some of historical aircraft of the Bangladesh Air Force :D

Airtech Canadan DHE – 3/1000 OTTER:
B-721-01.jpg


This old modeled Canada made aircraft was piston-engine operated. The skilled technicians of BAF who had participated in the Liberation War transformed this aircraft into a fighter cum-bomber through their relentless efforts to use it in air operations. Arrangement was made to set rocket pod under two wings besides machine gun and bomb dropping facilities inside the aircraft. On 03 December 1971, air attack was launched with this aircraft on Burma Eastern Oil Refinery in Chittagong as well on Chittagong Port.

F-86 FIGHTER Aircraft:

JB255(1802)-01.jpg


This F-86 is very interesting. It was some of the world's earliest jet fighters if I am not mistaken. Also, the first fighter for the BAF.

F-6 Fighter Aircraft:
F6(10421)-01.jpg


This Chinese aircraft was inducted in BAF in 1977 and phased out in 1998. This aircraft played a commendable role on air defence in BAF.

MIG-21 Fighter Aircraft:

Mig21(7006)-02.jpg


This Russian aircraft was inducted in BAF in 1973 and phased out in 2000.

The earliest fighter procured by the BAF.

Might wanna visit their site, its interesting :D Includes ex-IAF aircraft.
