Now that you mention it, NO. It didn’t show up. 🙁 I thought I had missed something. So you didn’t miss that jetliner because you left early sonnenflieger. But I’ll forgive the organizers for this because it was a superb show after all. 🙂

Greets,

Love Catalinas. How about starting a Catalina thread to see how many surviving Cat. photos we can post??

Yes, sometimes you can see treasures behind the people on those old pics as those cats. Also think about the pentice of Willy Hendrick, …

One more of me I found last week. Here you can see me in the cocpit of a Belgian Airforce F104 Starfighter. This pic was taken at Koksijde around 1984-85.

Don’t I look innocent? 😮 😉

Thanks for sharing Stieglitz, looks like it was better than Duxford yesterday! A nice mix of vintage aircraft.

The people in Holland will feel patriotic to hear such a statement made by someone from the UK. 😉

But yes, it was a great show!

Thanks for the kind comments,

Hi Stieglitz
Did you see the Early Birds P-51 mustang while there? It is being said to be under rebuild in Lelystad (have been for some time) but not much news about it has surfaced!

Sorry TJ. The early birds hangar was open, but you couldn’t visit it. Only the Bleriot and a oldtimer car where pulled out. I didn’t see anything from their P51. 😮 Some other visitor could have more luck maybe.

And yes Bert, after 4 hours in the car, I think Lelystad is in the north of Holland now! :diablo:

Well done, Jochen, it pays to get there early before the aircraft become hidden by crowds of people!

Yes PL, and you need to have a little bit of luck too. 😉

More twin engined piston power was presented by this french based Nordatlas:
