Reevers B-25 unveiled in NEIAF 18 SQN colours

This weekend Reevers in Australia unveiled their B-25 Mitchell in 18 SQN NEIAF colours.
We managed to get 3 former 18 SQN WW2 veterans… aged between 93-95 including one former pilot ….to attend.

The event was successful for so many reasons and most important was we were able to get the Dutch government to award medals during the unveiling to some of the veterans and family members.

Many people were amazed at what has being achieved in under 18months by Reevers and this has helped to restart discussion on a very forgotten part of Australia’s and Netherlands WW2 air war history in the South West Asian operations.
