  1. Hi OvS. It's called "Theirs is the Glory" and I guess it's downloadable somewhere on the net in the mean time. Youtube has fragments. I got my copy years ago at an Air Force Open Day where the Airborne Museum Hartenstein had a stand. My eldest brother had obtained a special foldable paratrooopers bike years before that and gave it to them. The museum was extremely happy with it, as it was 99.9% original (except for a tire plug) and I got one of the last copies of the movie (limited edition of 750).... Hou doe, Derk
  2. Great, looking forward to it !! Hou doe, Derk
  3. Hey Henrik, Are these from Danmil ? Bought a couple of issues a long time agop with the F-104, Draken and F-100. Interesting excercise to compare Danish with a couple of dialects we have in the North of our country. Knowing what it was all about, I could read it quite well..... Hou doe, Derk
  4. Actually it is the second movie about Market Garden. I have a copy of British movie made in 1945/6 in Arnhem and Oosterbeek in the middle of a lot of the original wreckage and ruined buildings that had not yet been completely removed cq rebuilt at that time. . Very sobering experience...... The whole thing is still very much alive over here, with General Sosabowski and his Polish Parachute Brigade getting a posthume and belated "Militaire Willemsorde" two years ago (quite a slap in the face of Montgomery actually). It is the highest and very rare Dutch war decoration. Furthermore, every year there is a large memorial ceremony at Oosterbeek War Cemetary, including fly by's and parachute landings on the original landing grounds. Although in rapidly diminishing numbers, lots of veterans return to the scene and some of them even make the parajump again (together with a somewhat younger soldier of course...) Hou doe, Derk

  17. Thanks for the tips, found another very interesting side of this forum this way. It amazes me how good some of you are at writing a sensible story or making clear an opinion in a well balanced way. In short : cool !! Derk
  18. What's the cost of the paint training ? Hou doe, Derk
  19. Our 4th, 5th and 6th child say "woof", "miaauw" and "woof" respectively. For the rest my good friend Muesli says it all !! Hou doe, Derk
  20. Vulcan Black Buck mission to the Falklands, at least the longest bombing raid in history and the one using the greatest number of tankers (grand total of 28) to get 21 1000 pounders on Stanley airfield...... Hou doe, Derk
  21. ECM may have made the difference. As from July 1975 a total of 66 ®F-104G's of the RNlAF were equiped with the Sanders ALQ-126 multi band track breaker ECM set, mounted internally. Sure makes a difference, in a post in the KB about making the F104 a "national" (in this case Dutch) aircraft, Wrench describes how it can be modified. The Orpheus / Starfighter combination was a good one, very low and very fast. Hou doe, Derk
