This is a D-Day veteran that was also active over occupied Germany. It made a forced landing at Eindhoven in the already liberated part of the Netherlands in 1945 and, after the war had ended, remained in the Netherlands to be used by various airliners as PH-DAB. In 1965, the aircraft went to the Indonesian navy, until 1968. In that year it went back to civil aviation as PK-RDA. This photo was added on 19 November 2020, and has since been viewed 480 times. |
