Roelofarendsveen jet ?

Post by ph-eik »

According a colleague on the Sotaweg in Roelofarendsveen there is a jet stored in an garden behind or next to a house.
But I Could not find anything on the net about a jet in Roelofarendsveen.
The only thing I found was a Twitter message of 20 April 2011 that there was an airplane parked on the Sotaweg but no reaction on it by anyone.
And there is a company Jet Propulsion on the Sotaweg 22 Roelofarendsveen.
Is there someone living in this area and knows something about this jet or can take a peak?
Greetings Paul.

I saw nothing along Sotaweg, although the market gardeners have deep gardens. No 22 is also something agricultural.

Hi,

This week I was able to check the constructionnumber inside the cockpit of the Jet Provost T.3.
It's the PACW6326 and that makes it the former RAF XM369.

No it's not freely accesable, the location is closed off with a gate, and the JP is at the back of the house.
I was lucky the owner was at home and I asked if I could make some photos.

Today I saw the Jetprovost. You can see at Sotaweg 24 from the road. I saw at the rightside of the garden behind some cars en he was covered with a cloth.

As far as I know it still is, it was in 2017.

Drove by the Sotaweg an hour ago and didn't see any aircraft there...Area was fenced off with no one around. Will check again during office hours.

She's still there, saw her today. Only the nose is visible from underneath a cover, but you can see most of her from over the fence from the rearside of the garden.
