Transall (Transporter Allianz) was formed in 1959 by
Aerospatiale, MBB and VFW to produce the C-160 military transport.
Examples were delivered to the air forces of France (50), Germany (90),
South Africa (9) and Turkey (20). An improved version, the C-160NG
(Nouvelle Generation), made its first flight in 1981 and 29 were
delivered to the French Air Force as well as 6 examples which were
delivered to Indonesia for operation by Pelita Air Services. A few
C-160NG’s remain active in civil markings notably with Manunggal Air
Service of Indonesia.
