With name "de Ouwe Lobbes" barely visible. On long-term loan from the Royal Air Force Museum. This aircraft is widely quoted as c/n 5294, but that is its fuselage number. It is in fact Dornier Werknummer 3387 which was delivered to Spain in Sep 1944, becoming '65-7', then HR.5-7, HR.5-1 and finally HD.5-1. It was one of two examples bought in August 1976 by Dolph Overton and it was registered to him as N99225 in Feb 1977. The aircraft was never delivered to him, remaining in storage at Pollensa, Spain. Mr. Overton donated it to the Royal Air Force Museum in 1982, which in turn loaned it to the Dutch museum in Nov 1991.
