RE: My favourite KLM aircraft

In the early 1980ties, the KLM school had a Sp2H (V-210) , a Harvard (B-184), a Tracker (V-151) and the F-27 Maritime prototype. All those were repainted in KLM colours, but none were ever operated as such ofcourse. Now only the Tracker and the Neptune are still in this livery. BW Roger

RE: My favourite KLM aircraft

As far as I recall there was an article on this aircraft in FlyPast many years ago, and if I remember correctly then it was indeed painted in KLM colours as a training exercise without ever having flown in these colours. I also seem to remember that there was a second aircraft in these colours, possibly a Harvard. Do you know more, Roger?

Nice pic – especially considering the circumstances over there. And finally an opportunity for me to ask if that paintjob makes any sense – has it flown as such, or was it an exam project for a bright career as an aircraft painter?
