For telegraph operator and reconnaissance training, the Netherlands Air Force acquired 10 Proctors from British surplus in 1947. On the underside of the wing you can just make out the Netherlands Air Force roundel. This Proctor served with the Air Force between June 25, 1947 until October 1953 and was then scrapped. The back of the photo says "Lustrijka '47", which was an exhibition held in 1947. 'Lustrijka' is very likely the abbreviation for 'Luchtstrijdkrachten', which means Air Force. The aircraft still has the serial NP360 here which was later in 1947 replaced by W-11 after the new serial system became operational. Photo from W.
