This Ikarus S-49C wore the serial number 2405 and was assigned to the 185th Aviation Regiment, an element of the Air Officers School based at Ljubljana Polje airfield, as of October 1953. It was delivered to this unit straight from the Ikarus factory in September 1953, painted in ‘pigeon grey’ or medium sea grey (BS381C/637) overall, and received standard JRV insignia: its fin- and wing-tips were painted in white while the 185th Aviation Regiment was acting as ‘aggressor’, during the field exercises of September 1953.
