    I know. I would try to use the limited space indoors for the aircraft that really matter. The AN2 inside is a waste of indoor space. Unfortunately it’s slightly smaller, otherwise …..

    the one in Germany is in Hermeskeil

    Here’s a picture of the one at Hermeskeil (colour slide 1999). I wonder if it’s still outside. It’s a rare type. It’s worth to preserve it.

    I’m not 100% sure, but as far as I have seen, they are busy with a restoration project. As you can see, there are several aircraft under (long term) restoration while on display.

    I hadn’t seen the Brussels Mossie up to now. This late mark is not the most streamlined version. Wonderful museum!

    I saw that the request for a proper picture of TP285 hadn’t been answered. The Overloon museum reopened earlier this year after a merge with another collection.
    I revisted the museum on 18 june 2006. The number of military vehicles has increased dramatically. The number of aircraft rose from 3 to 4.

    A Mig 21 is now part of a cold war diorama.

    The free Dutch newspaper Metro placed a nice picture of the rescue operation. They had wonderful background news “The pilot was the sole survivor of the air disaster”.

    Mr. Tipsy,

    In the book “Slingsby Sailplanes” by Martin Simmons (page 110; ISBN 1-85310-732-8) you’ll find what you’re looking for.

    Here is a picture of the Banshee in the National Warplane Museum, Elmira NY. They have a Phantom too.
