Great shots Moos anyway where is this last shot taken from? been to Eindhoven airport a couple of times but never had
time to find this spot is it far from the terminal ?

I think it’s taken from P4. This is a car parking between civil and military apron.
You can go up there (4 levels) for free.

For free by foot... with a car it is more expensive

When by car, park along the road, It will cost you max 4 Euro's a day.

Busy platform with heavy's

And this is special: for the firs time in history of the Royal Netherlands Air Force, two different types of operational aircraft bear the same letter in it's registration.

Hmmm, indeed, well noted!

Uh, nope.

[Canberra TT.18]

I think:
Auster and super cub (R-...)
Meteor and B-25 (I-...)
Also, but this was way back in the early 50's.

[ehusmann]

Auster and super cub (R-...)

Seems like it, yes. Austers flew until 1955, first Cub arrived in 1952. Both with R indeed.

Meteor and B-25 (I-...)

B-25s had M numbers (and didn't fly anymore when the T-33 came into service).

And there is another example. A little more recent, with at least one type most of us I think still have been able to see...

Do we agree that a Fokker 50 is not the same as a Fokker 60-UTA?

[frank kramer]

going waaaayyyyy off-topic:
B-25's with M-registration belonged to the ML/KNIL, so not (K)Lu
B-25's with "I" belonged to the MLD, so not (K)Lu

The M-... B-25 where used in Indonesia, the (6) I-.. Mitchels in the Netherlands as far as I know

Do you mean the SAR Alouette II (H-..) and the SAR Alouette III (H-..) with more recently?

I agree used by 320 VSQ, but 6 B-25 are always listed as used by the KLu in publications.

Bingo.
First SAR Alouette 3 came into service early 1966, last Alouette 2 left late 1966. For a few months these flew together.
Just like the situation now with the tankers.

Isn't that 'I' a '1'? I cannot find any references to I- registered B-25s. Only A-11 to A-23, applied on the aircraft as 1-11 to 1-23 (link).
Fair point on the M- B-25s, though it doesn't change the fact that it doesn't constitute a double use of the same prefix at the same time.
