A nice sunny Sunday and the Vintage Glider Club Rally being held in The Netherlands, a nice combination
No early start necessary for a change, and no hours of driving needed. However also in our own country there still are a few W&R we still need, so a little detour was made.
Arnhems Oorlogsmuseum 40-45, Arnhem

XE802 used to be based at Shipdham, but is nowadays flying from a place near Plymouth. WB946 is based at Soesterberg.
A very friendly and open atmosphere here, with a few gems present. I made no less than 7 here, more than expected. Plus there are of course many civil vintage gliders, for those interested. The rally will end at August 6, so there is still time to go and get them!
As always, additions, corrections and comments are very welcome.
That's all folks!
