Registered to the NLS in Rotterdam/Waalhaven in November 1931, later to the NLS chapters Rijswijk/Ypenburg (date unknown) and Rotterdam/Twenthe (September 1931). The aircraft suffered an accident at Teuge in August 1938. The only damage was a broken propeller but the registration was cancelled in February 1939. Back to PH-AIB with private owners between May 1939 and November 1940. The aircraft was seized by the Germans and in the second half of 1941 the useful parts were harvested and the rest scrapped. The owner received financial compensation based on age and flight hours. For the -AIB, this was 1900 guilders. Photo from Harm Reinders

Unusual picture of two almost identical aircraft in one picture. On this date the real C-8 (in front and with "F27 Display" titles) preserved at the gate was replaced with a fake "C-8" (behind), which is actually the ex C-12.

Built in 1965 and originally meant for the USAF as 62-12845, but not taken up. Delivered to the Luftwaffe in 1965 as CA103, later reregistered as 1103. To Egypt in January 1987 as SU-DAH. Later to ST-PRE. Seen at Istanbul in 1996. Damaged by fire and gone by 1997. Remnants were seen at Khartoum (HSSS, Sudan). Photo from Harm Reinders

Escadron de Transport (ET) 3/60 "Esterel" (insignia under the cockpit)

Pictured during an opening in the clouds which combined with the low sun produced beautiful contrasty scenes. The aircraft left for Germany the next day.

The Orions were the successor of the Neptune and were delivered from November 1981. It was used as anti-sub and patrol aircraft from homebase Valkenburg. Usually 1 aircraft was based in Kevlavik (Iceland) for reconnaissance of the Soviet fleet. At Hato (Curacao), it wasn't an unusual sight to see 3 aircraft, which were used in the war against drugs. Due to budget cuts, the squadron was disbanded and homebase Valkenburg was closed. '310' entered service in April 1984 and was retired in October 2001. Sold to Portugal in March 2005 and became 14811. Photo from Harm Reinders
