Last Saturday, a group of Scramble editors paid a visit to the homebase of the R.Neth AF Historic Flight, Gilze-Rijen airbase. We were highly impressed by both the enthusiasm and the professionalism of this group of volunteers.
Many thanks for showing us around !

B25 is ex Duke of Brabant Airforce. DoB merged into RNLAF Historical Flight a couple of year’s ago. Dukes of Hazard used Dodge Chargers! That’s a different story.
Hmm, I remember someone calling them that once..

It is indeed ex-HD346 NO-V ‘Lotys II’ which has been operated by the Dukes since 1990 (25 years ago!)

A dodgy story.

Nice Beaver!
Beavers are always nice, they’re de Havilland.

I take it the B25 is ex Dukes of Hazard?

Nice Beaver!
By: DazDaMan - 11th June 2015 at 22:41
All very nice, but I do like that Spitfire scheme….!
By: Zac Yates - 11th June 2015 at 22:21
That explains it. And what a great job they’ve done! I’ve never seen a Dutch Beaver.
I just realised that could be taken the wrong way…

Beaver is just back from the paint shop.
By: Zac Yates - 11th June 2015 at 03:24
What a lovely bunch of machines, thanks for sharing! The Beaver in particular looks really good.

Thanks for posting these – the trainer scheme on the Harvard and the Fokker S-11 brings back happy memories of the examples owned by the Strathallan Collection back in the 70s and, I think, both still airworthy(Harvard ex B-97 and S-11 ex E-31)
