I have the same problem. We received a German prop last weekin our museum, most probably an Arado or HE115, but can’t check the numbers on it so far. BW Roger
Oke, a Spanish Buchon should be nice, but how on an Argentinian or El Salvadoranian Corsair, or a Mustang in Dominican Air Force livery, or a Cuban Invader. I wouldn’t mind seeing one of those. given the fact that many warbirds, now painted up in WW2 livery, came from, South American air forces, using very often colourfull liveries. Wouldn’t mind a Japenese two tone grey , or a Dutch green and grey TBM either! BW Roger
The type saw combat in the Spanish Sahara, and is for the Spanish just as legendary as the Spitfire is for some Britisch. Bw Roger
Wouldn’t it be nice to see one fly in the original Spanish colours, like the all dark blue one, or the silver and light blue! Bw Roger
Cees,
there are talks going on with “Flevoland’ to raise some money to raise something we discussed some weeks ago. I’ll update you asap.

For the time being it is going to stay in Seppe.

The Swiss Super Connie is expected for La Ferte Alais, not this one.
Thanks everybody for the help. Guess it is time to clean it now and put it on display with the remains of a Stirling that was salvaged years ago, and has been on show in the museum since. BW Roger
Yes please!
Considering the form and size, and the fact that it can only hold 1 bomb, you could be right Kev. BW Roger
No, this is the only pic I took so far. Couldn’t find any text on it either. We’ll have a closer look on thursday. BW Roger
Hope this will show some more detail.
Hi Mike,
The Eos 300D, or the Nikon D70 are fine and, although they look maybe different, very strong. So that’s no problem.
You talk about digital zoom. well you need optical zoom as digital zoom is useless and gives extreme bad quality.
The main thing why I prefer the slr is because of the shutter lag. With a slr, you push the button, and almost at the same time the picture is taken. With a buffer of 7 or 9 pics, you can continue to photograph.
With most others, there is a shutterlag. When you push the button, the camera waits some time, this can be as worse as 2 seconds, before it takes the pic. After that, it needs some 5 seconds or so to write the pic down. This is fine with normal photography as long as the photo object isn’t moving. However with moving things like aircraft or so, it is a nightmare.
So if you don’t go for the slr, try to shoot some fast passing cars or so with the non slr and than you can see how good or worse the shutterlag and writing down time is.

I always should go for the dslr! And an 8Mp may not be sharper than a 6MB. What is inportant is the size of the pixels. I have a 6.1MB camera (Eos10D) and I can print A3 without any problems. BW Roger
As there is no alternative anymore, the bustour is the only way to get in. You are not allowed out of the bus, and you have to shoot through very dark tinted glass. My advise, go sit in the back of the bus, as here it is possible (most of the time) to hop from the left to the right and backwards or, just buy a ticket for 2 tours. Next time I go for 3 tours. Overexpose by 1 or 2 stops and things are fine. BW Roger
