Is it poisonous ?

Tomorrow another afternoon as a volunteer museum guide at Nationaal Militair Museum at the former Soesterberg AB ......... m.....

Ha, ha Migbuster... Meteor, F-84F, Hunter, F-104G and NF-5 are to the left of the F-15, F-86F and F-102A outside on the apron, so better take another 2 days......

...and quite old stuff BTW....

Hi, hi, thought the old captain of the Caravan would tell the German lady ground traffic controller the old joke...

Hm, we had the C's over here in Holland with the USAFE 32 FIS at Soesterberg. Quite some of them crashed during their time in the Netherlands. Saw them very low and very fast in full burner over the apron at an airshow at Eelde back in the '50 's . They were replaced by the F-102. In the new museum at the same place https://www.nmm.nl/en/ (airbase is closed) we have a D doubling as a C in the depot. Guess it will be out at the apron someday, the F-86F and the F-102A are already in place, F-4E is in the depot and the F-15A is suspended from the ceiling insiude the museum

Ha, ha, the fence at the golfcourse I suppose?

Where is it in Scotland Gunny ?

Still wonder if it's possible to get rid of the "bow frames" like what could be done with the F 4 pit, giving it a one piece windscreen . Would be great to have to simulate a Draken pit...

It was redesigned into something like this: the Lancer................................

The British Cavalry is very much superior.....

Veèèèèry cool !!!

Merci beaucoup Michael, très belle.....

RESPECT

O yes, AND a towbanner stating "we will gladly pay for your returntrip, but please go away, otherwise we will be very sad and só diappointed.........."

With 250 collegues I have been taken on as a volunteer guide & museum teacher in our new National Military Museum, which will be opened by (AFAIK) His Majesty King Willem Alexander on december 11th. The former Soesterberg Airbase (and home of the 32 th Wolfhounds USAFE) has been turned into a huge landscape park with much of the base being left intact , including the main rwy, taxiways and lots of dispersals and shelter areas. It is a very historic place dating back to 1913 that was extended to a huge complex by the Germans in WW II (lots of traces to be found)......The secondary runway has been turned into a gras strip and is used for gliding. Combining the former Army Museum and the Air Force Museum (including Naval Aviation), a huge 3.760.000 sq ft building topped off by an 150ft tower -overlooking the whole base - and a depot have been constructed on the site where the hangars used to be. There is an outdoor tank - and vehicle area as well as a quite area around the Airforce Monument. An original building dating back to 1913 as well as a hangar from 1929 are still there..... .There will be lots of reënactment activities as well as demonstrations of equipment including AFV's The former 32Sq area has been taken into use by the Ministry of Defence. and is still named Camp New Amsterdam (so you'll still feel at home Veltro !!) Though quite some stuff from the former musea is not permanently displayed, the overall result is absolutely awesome..... If you visit the Netherlands I'll be more than happy to give you guys a Royal Tour ....... https://www.nmm.nl/en/
