This Auster is former G-AKOX and RT637. It was registered as PH-NEP by NV Vliegbedrijf Meteor in Amsterdam on 18 April 1952 and used for cropspraying over the Houtrakpolder. The company already went broke in October of that year and 'NEP' was sold to Germany in January 1955. It was destined to become (together with Auster HB-EOC) the source for a new Auster, D-ELUT. The project was however broken up in 1972 (source H.Dekker) photo by Cees de Boer in Beeldbank Noord Hollands Archief NL-HlmNHA_6044 This photo was added on 27 November 2021, and has since been viewed 252 times. |
