Photo Comment

Just left the water on take-off from the Hoornsche Hop off Hoorn, on one of several pleasure flights. Photo taken from a RIB (rigid-inflatable boat). Regrettably, after having spent 24 years of its life in the Netherlands, this magnificent aircraft was sold to the Collins Foundation on 11 Oct 2018. It left Dutch waters forever on delivery to the USA on 29 May 2019.
