Thailand had a bunch of Japanese WWII era arcraft. What happened to them all?

Quote:

Among the 140 aircraft that composed the air force's first-line strength were twenty-four Mitsubishi Ki-30 light bombers, nine Mitsubishi Ki-21 medium bombers, twenty-five Hawk 75Ns pursuit planes, six Martin B-10 medium bombers, and seventy O2U Corsair light bombers.[9]

most seem to have survived the war...

As I know they were used after the way and maybe some more was includede from captivity. But wait for some better informed for reply.

While not Japanese, I know at least one each of the O2U and Hawk 75N survived, and are at the RTAF Museum. This should have more:

It's true that most Japanese aircraft serving with the Royal Thai Air Force survived the war and many served until as late as 1949. I appears that most were scrapped. The only survivor that I know of is the Tachikawa Ki 36 Ida in the Royal Thai Air Force Museum.
