Not a car this time, but almost ann aircraft. Moments after a fully passenger loaded DC3 landed at Gilze-Rijen yesterday, a large deer jumped out of the grass and ran over the runway. Not a quality shot, but I wasn’t prepared for it, so I had no tele on the camera. BW Roger

With regards to the deer, I understand they gave it a buck to go away.

Not if you’ve been drinking all night in ‘First Left’ on Gilze-Rijen AB Iv’e seen a few exhaust rings like that me self! but thats another story!.:D 😀 😀
Just a quick yarn about the base,
we had a fly in there one weekend ‘The Iscar Rally’ I think it was called, anyway, It was part sponsered by a brewery so, they delivered many boxes of a brew called Corona I think, that you drink with a chunk of lime in the top of the bottle, as the visitors had to leave before dusk as to get back to there base airfields none of the brew was drunk! Boy did we have a party as we were living on the base!! I had some good times over there during the years I was with the RLNAF 😉

Handy that it had that big green ring around it, must have made it easier for the Dak driver to see it.

Doh ! or should I say Doe !
You never know where you will end up after a stag party.

Why? Are they operated by British Caledonian as well????
That’s what most of their charter flights seemed to do…….

If it was a Triumph Stag it would have broken down before it reached the runway.

Are you sure it isn’t a Triumph Stag?

Hi Roger,
Yes, there are quite a few on the base there, I saw many over the two years I lived on the base up untill Dec 2000.
Nice shot!
