What a shame!! This beautiful airworthy Meteor should stay in the UK. Already too many significant historic aircraft have been lost to the US.
My first ever aircraft photo! Bristol Superfreighter G-AMSA at Zestienhoven Rotterdam Airport 13 July 1964.
Especially the progress on the Norseman seems to be very slow. This is how she already looked like in 2011!!
A few additions to the Schiphol Hangar names:
Hangar 10 – Albert Plesman
Hangar 11 – Jan Dellaert
Hangar 12 – Han Luymes
Hangar 14 – Leonardo da Vinci
A few pictures I took in the 60’s of some of the old hangars which have been demolished since.
Hangar 1 – Santos Dumont “The Swedish hangar”
Hangar 1, Hangar 2 – Jan Olieslagers and Hangar 3 – Jan Hilgers
In the background Hangar 1A – Count de Lambert
Hangars 3 and 2
Hangar 5 – Orville and Wilbur Wright
Hangar 3 is also pictured in my avatar, which is a painting by Dutch aviation artist Thijs Postma made for me on the occasion of my retirement from Air Traffic Control The Netherlands in 2002
Note: Thijs Postma also was the designer of the original Martin’s Air Charter livery
Back on topic for Hangar 7: in the 70’s I joined the “Airsport” badminton club and initially we used to play in a part of Hangar 7! Those were the days…….
Short Belfast pictures from better days …..
