The officers' mess monument at Eindhoven, the original, genuine one, before it was replaced by a replica. This Spitfire was on display here since 1955, first as (fake) MJ289/VL-V, later as H-15 / MK959, its true identity. Taken down circa 1990, initially for use in the restoration of another Spitfire at Deelen AB, and replaced by a one-on-one copy which has graced the mess to this day. The real H-15 was sold to the USA in 1994 for restoration, and made its first post-restoration flight on 19 Feb 2004 as N959RT, painted as RAF MK959/5A-K. Still current by 2020.

Note the AIM-9 Sidewinders

Now in the Soesterberg museum

T-255 was delivered to 334sq at Eindhoven on 25 Oct'04. The DC-10 arrived in the Netherlands in basic United Airlines c/s with 82,000 flight hrs on its clocks and with its former registration N1858U. Before its delivery, it as been stored at Marana (AZ) for some 3 years. On 01 Nov'05 it became T-255 and was converted in Italy for transport tasks. Due to cost reductions within the Dutch MoD, the DC-10 was only modified with a new cockpit and for personnel transport tasks. Further dwindling resulted in phasing out the a/c. Last flight on 29 Dec'13, and flown over to the UK for scrap on 11 Apr'14
