REQ identity of unknown Vampire in Antwerp (?)

Hi all, Listed on Ebay is an unknown Vampire. The seller is located in Breda, but he gives the location of the Vampire as Antwerp. In one of the pictures the Vampire is stored next to a Swiss P3, with registration A-8** only partly visible. Is there somebody who knows more about this Vampire (or the...

Re: F-86 Sabre Mk.5 in Roth

Well spotted! These plates look lke part plates though, not the "main" construction number plate (which F-84s don't have anyway afaik). So it could be a matter of swopping parts before preservation/scrapping?

Re: Oud Loosdrecht Lim 5 1220.

This indeed seems an impossible one to catch unfortunately. I tried a few times on location as well, left a message via the website and sent emails to a mail address I got. No luck (or response) at all unfortunately. Interestingly, but not very promising, is that I see that the guest book on the web...

They lost one recently if I remember correctly, so that makes sense!

Re: question Twenthe 1996 airshow

Sorry Harry, I only logged a French AS532UL on the 5th... (2299/AIU)...
Same here. I visited on both the 5th and the 6th, but the only French chopper I logged was that Cougar.
Of course I was only still a "starter" back then, so I might have missed the less obvious.....

It is not known what ever happened to the other three Well, that's rather public knowledge though ;-) One used to be preserved at Chattenden, and is nowadays stored at Duxford; one is preserved in the Museum of Science & Industry in Manchester; and the last one is preserved in the RAF museum at Cos...

Re: Getafe

T.19A-01 and -02 were seen by me at Getafe in December 2012 and seemed to be based. I know it just over a year ago, but with the difference between those and the Police ones (the large green bands), I'd put my money on those....

Re: Nederlandse spotters vast in UAE

Ik kan het niet laten toch even te reageren, mede vanuit "eigen ervaring". Belangrijkste voor nu is dat de drie mannen snel vrij komen, en op een na belangrijkste is dat niemand een oordeel velt voordat er meer feiten (liefst ook van/door hen zelf) naar buiten komen. In de media wordt van alles gero...

Probably XW318/MG-78, which was for sale by Jet Art Aviation in the UK. They have 7 more, so no idea about the other two.

Re: BTW vrije actie Mediamarkt

Misschien is "flauwekul" een wat heftige reactie.....
Jij hebt duidelijk wél een goede ervaring. Anderen kunnen een mindere hebben. Persoonlijk heb ik ook (weer) voor een fotozaak gekozen voor m'n nieuwste body. Maar da's deels gevoel, dat geef ik toe!
