    Before I plan a visit, I’m sure I read last year that the museum was closing at some point for refurbishment.

    Any one know if that is still on and when please?.

    I have checked the website http://www.klm-mra.be but haven’t found any information about this. You can contact the museum via the website.

    Great stuff. Didn’t realise they had two Spits there – thought they only had the Mk.XIV.

    Thought I recognised that B-29 model, though! Is/wasn’t that the biggest R/C model ever??

    I found a picture of the B-29 model taken with my wide angle lens. From this perspective it could easily be the largest R/C model ever built………:D

    Don’t know, but it’s big. Here are a few more:

    I’m not really in to helicopters, but here are two of my best heli-pics:

    Great shots. Who said that aviation photography is limited to the airshow season?

    You sure about that? The 2de Maasvlakte near Rotterdam is I believe still in the process of being reclaimed? Or has the reclamation already finished? I lost track on that project. Other then that I don’t think there are any projects going on. Lots of ambitious plans though.

    Forgot about that one.

    No at this moment there are no major polder projects in Holland. The opposite is happening: we give some land back to the water in order to give birds more living space etc. We have to recover aircraft wrecks the hard way.

    Brave people who fly gliders on such a cold day. Although, with no thermals they didn’t have to suffer very long.

    Fantastic! Not only the aircraft, but this by far the best first-flight-video I’ve ever seen. Thanks for sharing.

    High quality video of a good looking aircraft. Hope you’ll be back in a couple of days for the first take off.
