Nigeria and the spirit of Biafra
.
Last week, the Nigeria Army took delivery of five MFI-15 Safari trainer aircrafts from Pakistan. The MFI-15 were made by Saab of Sweden. If I tell you the story of MFI-15 aircraft you will either laugh or be in shock.
.
In May 1969, the Biafran Airforce engineers, with the help of a Swedish mercenary called Carl Gustaf von Rosen, converted Swedish built Malmő MFI-9 civilian trainer aircrafts into what they called MiniCOINS - Miniature Counter Insurgency. They were popularly called Biafran Babies, with capacity to carry significant loads of ordinance.
.
The converted airplanes were effective. They were uaed by the Biafran Airforce to strike Nigerian airfield at Port Harcourt, Enugu, Benin and even Lagos, destroying some number of Nigeriia's expensive MiG-17s and Ilyushin II-28s. The first MFI-15, developed from the Biafran design, had its first flight on the 26th of February, 1971.
The success of the Biafran Babes evoked the interest of the original manufacturers. That was how MFI-15, the aircraft that Nigeria imported from Pakistan last week, was born. The Swedish made CDK are assembled in Pakistan as the Mushshak.

The first picture is Carl von Rosen about to take off in the Biafran Baby. The second picture is one the MFI-15 Nigeria imported from Pakistan. The third picture shows the five MFI-9 of the Biafran Air Force at Uli, 1969, while the fourth picture is the five MFI-15 of the Nigerian Airforce 2018.
.
What Biafra made in 1969 under war conditions, Nigeria is importing from Pakistan in peace time, 2018.
.
Now you may laugh or be in shock.
