Green Group displayed at lelystad Airport, where the 'Aviodome Museum'
also resides. C-47B Skytrain |

|
A
real Focke Wulf was flown in, and the 'Pilots' have a little chat amongst
eachother |
|
During
the display oct. 2009 this 'Flying Dutchman' was to be admired in a small
morning sun |
|
All
kinds of military equipment was gathered at Lelystad's Aviodome... |
|
You
cannot imagine how much energy and money people spend on this 'keeping
history alive' |
|
|
|
When
you like to speak to these people, you bet it cost you some time ! |
|
|
|
Most
of them tell you all about their vehicle, uniform, you ask it and they
name it ! |
|
It
has nothing to do with 'glorify' the war, but they all kan explain what
it's really about... |
|
|
|
It's
about hobby, restoring, social contacts... and the war period had it's
good things also... |
|
...
it brought people together in very hard times, risking your life for
others... |
|
...
but this is far too complicated to explain in a few sentences. So better
enjoy this Spitfite ... ;-) |
|
|
|
Pilots
relax as they did in wartimes, waiting for a 'Scramble' ... (do have a
cookie from grandma's tin) |
|
Hello
Sir ! There's a story to be told by him, in time we'll contact him and
tell you about it later on ! |
|
Some
impressions, and even some humor, Cheers ! |
|
|
|
We
show you an old communications field/post... amazing how people succeed in
collecting these items ! |
|
Look
at this beauty, ready to drive away with important messages, even armed ! |
|
Old
American army trucks... |
|
|
|
Impressions
of a decade, sometimes even pre/ or post war times. |
|
|
|
Shown
material is from 1st aid field surgery... |
|
|
|
Up
to the gererals car ! |
|
Guess:
Are these people from present days or also
´collectors items' ?? (Thanks folks for posing !) |
|
|
|
Like
those days for real: A parachute is drying in the wind on the wing of a
Dakota... |
|
...
completely rigged 'ready for action' motorbikes and Jeeps... |
|
|
|
By
the way, without all these exposed vehicles the Lelystad Aviodome is very
well worth a visit ! |
|
A
Focke Wulf Pilot, and US Army medics... |
|
The
real fly-worthy German Focke Wulf FW190A-S ! |
|
Communication
equipment from planes at the Aviodome, and they can tell you all about it
overthere. |
|
|
|
Well,
time to leave in stylish 'B&W' , and have another round of even more
interesting pages. |
