    Untill very recently (1990’s) the Swiss airforce operated vampires, is this correct? And what happened to them?

    Hi folks

    just received an e-mail from a Dutch friend:

    Dutch Spitfire MK732 flew for the first time since almost two years because of propelor problems. As far as I know its coming to legends, where during that weekend the pilots are going for there display autorisation.

    The support aircraft they are bringing is either the Beaver ore the Beech 18.

    Best regards
    Martin / Swiss Mustangs

    Great news!

    Hello,

    It is just one part, it is very small and impossible to id. (because it is melted and twisted)
    I dont have a digital camera, sorry

    Very interesting is what is written on it, but there is one problem , i cant read it

    The only thing i can make out of it is Manchester, but that doesnt make any sence , does it ( I dont think it was made operational in large numbers and certainly not in 43?)

    The date is certainly 27-5-43, because the wreck was guarded by germans, so that ment it was “fresh” crash

    I want to find out which aircraft it was because it is a piece of history loaded with emotions.

    No Overijssel is in the East, Ockenburg was an airfield in The Hague near the coast.

    I have to admit the evidence about the type and date are not quite significant. I will have to search on location

    Thanks for the interest everybody!

    Many thanks for the interest..

    I am not sure about the type, It has 27-05-43 written on the side. My dad told me it was a Blenheim, but I questioned that because of the date.

    Thanks for the link and I will have to search on the location which I know for sure was former airfield Ockenburg

    Many thanks,

    I think this is the donor plane for MK732, so this is the original one
