Photo Comment

Registered to the RLS in October 1959. Involved in several incidents, including a mid-air collision with Belgian Starfighter FX-42 (minor damage), a forced landing at Eelde in July 1968 and an emergency landing at an unknown date. Registration cancelled in May 1981 and the aircraft was stored. Sold to a Belgian owner in 1984 and again stored. Became PH-RLB again in 1997 and suffered a wheels-up landing at Midden-Zeeland (EHMZ) in May 1998. Registration again cancelled in September 2006, but resurrected in January 2015 and still active at the time of the upload. Photo from Harm Reinders
