Historic Jets at Deelen - and a few props!

[comet4]

These pictures were taken at Deelen AFB in 1988 on the occasion of the 75th Anniversary of the RNeth AF (I think!).
There were also some old piston engined aircraft - I believe they were all museum airframes.

Yes, like those a lot. Thunderjet? TP-25, I photographed that particular jet at Florennes during Tlp 95/6.

Lovely stuff, a great show but why on earth can't I remember that Whisky 4 T-33?? Certainly haven't got a shot of it....

I was at that show. A can of Heineken was the same price as a can of Coke on the refreshment stall. Nice show but the weather wasn't particularly good IIRC.

Weather was poor but it was still an excellent show - thanks for the memories

Glad that the pictures brought back a few memories. It seems like it was a popular show with forumites!
I've added a few more pics of the piston engined participants. The Fokker D.XXI looks like a Harvard conversion.
Cheers

Trust you to kick a man when he's down ! Bizarre, there it is amongst the other stuff that I have pics of but not that.....

Not the best airshow venue and boy, did we cover some miles walking round that huge place... The 5 (IIRC) ship Frecce display, Italian '104s, mass flybys, the "stealth" ...great show though. Only RAF participants were the BBMF and Harrier solo/spare...

Such is life

I was only looking at that slide the other night too as I was also scanning the Meteors to post elsewhere
