On display inside the Militaire Luchtvaart Museum.

Painted in the colours of F-100C 54-1871 of the once Soesterberg-based 32nd Ftr Day Squadron, but it is actually ex 54-2265.

Displayed at the excellent Militaire Luchtvaart Museum.

An eye-catcher at the Military Aviation Museum at Kamp van Zeist, close to the now closed Soesterberg airbase. It has since been moved to a different position.

Restored cockpit with mostly original instruments. The restoration of the entire aircraft is due to be completed in 2014 when the new Defence Museum is to be opened at the former air base of Soesterberg.

In fact former Danish air force K-688 painted to represent X-5/ZU-5 that was wfu in Nov 1962 and was sold to Vietnam in 1964. X-5 can be seen in very small print on the tail, just below the flag.

Beautifully displayed alongside several other Netherlands Navy types in the Militaire Luchtvaart Museum.

The cockpit of Royal Netherlands Air Force F-27 Troopship C-10, preserved at the museum of Dutch military aviation at Kamp Zeist near Soesterberg. On the left side you can see the registration, radio callsign (PECAJ) and the SELCAL code (HL-MQ) for HF long range communications.

312 Sqn. Preserved at museum of military aviation at Kamp Zeist, near Soesterberg.

Painted as Netherlands Air Force "X-5", but never flew as such. The real X-5 was c/n 33323. The aircraft seen here is in fact ex Danish AF K-688, and before that it served with the Norwegian AF and the USAF. It was acquired by the museum in 1983, first painted as "ZU-5", and later as "X-5". It was removed from the museum in 2010 for restoration as "T-443" of the Netherlands East Indies Air Force. It is currently on display as such in the new Nationaal Militair Museum (NMM).

Taken on charge by the Royal Netherlands Navy as a P2V-7B on 8 Sep 1961, redesignated to P-2H in Sep 1962, and converted to SP-2H circa 1963. Struck off charge 13 Nov 1981 and transferred to the Militaire Luchtvaart Museum a week later.

With name "de Ouwe Lobbes" barely visible. On long-term loan from the Royal Air Force Museum. This aircraft is widely quoted as c/n 5294, but that is its fuselage number. It is in fact Dornier Werknummer 3387 which was delivered to Spain in Sep 1944, becoming '65-7', then HR.5-7, HR.5-1 and finally HD.5-1. It was one of two examples bought in August 1976 by Dolph Overton and it was registered to him as N99225 in Feb 1977. The aircraft was never delivered to him, remaining in storage at Pollensa, Spain. Mr. Overton donated it to the Royal Air Force Museum in 1982, which in turn loaned it to the Dutch museum in Nov 1991.

This is the real McCoy, no fake identities here. This Mitchell started life as 44-31258 with the USAAF, but was immediately delivered to the Netherlands East Indies Air Force in Sep 1945 as N5-264, which was changed to M-464 in June 1947. In Jun 1950 it was transferred to the Indonesian AF, and after serving with them for many years (using the same serial M-464) it arrived at the museum in Oct 1971.

This Dominie started service with the Royal Netherlands Air Force in Sep 1944, initially with its former RAF serial NF689 (still carried on the fin in this photo). It briefly flew as PH-RAE in Mar 1946, before it was reserialled to V-3 in Mar 1947. Operated for the United Nations in Israel in 1948 as PH-VNC, coded '7'. To KLM as PH-TGC in Nov 1952, then to PH-OTA in May 1954. Reg cancelled in Nov 1966 and placed on display for a short while in the playgrounds of the Avifauna Birds Zoo in Alphen aan de Rijn, Netherlands in 1967. Acquired by the Militaire Luchtvaart Museum in Dec 1968.

Painted as Royal Netherlands Navy 099, but in reality this Harvard is the former B-103 of the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Used as an instructional airframe from 1972 to 1985, then to the museum. Restored to static display condition at Valkenburg, then stored at the museum until placed on display in Jan 2003 as seen here. The real Royal Netherlands Navy 099 is c/n 14-555, which has been on display at the Auto und Technik Museum in Sinsheim, Germany since 1983.

Taken on charge by the Royal Netherlands Navy on 18 Mat 1963, struck off charge 15 Aug 1978. Sold to the USA, but noted in a technical school at Skavsta, Stockholm in Sweden in 1993. Later stored at the Flygvapenmuseum at Malmen Airport, Malmslätt (near Linköping) in Sweden. To the Militaire Luchtvaart Museum in Dec 2001.

A very nice Grumman Tracker, taken on charge by the Royal Netherlands Navy on 18 Aug 1960 as an S-2A. Converted to S-2N, then US-2N and withdrawn from use on 1 Oct 1975. Officially struck off charge on 7 Jul 1976 and transferred to the Militaire Luchtvaart Museum.
