Photo Comment
The official opening of Eelde. PH-AEB is a Fokker F.VIIa of the KLM. Amongst the other visible aircraft are PH-AKA (Pander EF 85 c/n 27), PH-AFX (Pander EF 85, c/n 38), PH-AFM (Pander EG 100, c/n 33), D-1212, D-746 and D-1668. I'm unsure of the identity of the remaining 4 aircraft. A special mention for the PH-AEV, a Pander EC 60 (c/n 25/II) that was owned by Hajo Hindriks. He is considered the founder of the airport, as he initiated the creation of the airport. Sadly, he lost his life as a result of a crash about 2 weeks after the airfield opened.
