Photo Comment

Delivered to the Rijksluchtvaartschool in August 1946 (faded logo still visible on the nose), and withdrawn from use in 1965. Donated to the Blinden-Instituut "St.-Henricus" in Grave in 1968, but soon after acquired by the Kleyngeld car salvage company, in 1972. Was initially used as an eye-catcher on concrete blocks in their salvage yard, but by 1990 it had been placed on the roof, as seen here. On 18 December 2012 it was removed from there and trucked to the Arnhems Oorlogsmuseum 40-45 in Schaarsbergen near Arnhem for restoration and display.
