Administrators James H Posted May 31, 2014 Administrators Posted May 31, 2014 Hi folks, You'll have to forgive me for not remembering exactly what everything is here. Some are obvious, and some less so. Where you don't know, I'm sure Cees will give you the full information. Had a great time at a private viewing of the Fort Veldhuis museum this last week, with Cees Broere and Jeroen Peters as my guides. The beautiful thing about this museum is that it portrays a human story. I defy anyone to go there and not be touched by what they see. Each twisted metal fragment tells a story. In many cases, those stories carry a face; a son, father ,brother. Quite humbling. For more info, click THIS link: http://www.arg1940-1945.nl Anyway, enough of my sentiment. I hope you enjoy these: 3

RalphSarc Posted May 31, 2014 Posted May 31, 2014 Wow looks like you had a great visit. Very interesting museum to say the least! Are those all things/parts/crashes etc found in the local area? Ralph.
Administrators Fran Posted May 31, 2014 Administrators Posted May 31, 2014 One fo the pics is a Ju-88 tailwheell??
Wingco57 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Nope, guess again. Look at the tyre profile. Sorry for the delay in answering. Got back today from a short holiday on the Beautiful Frisian island of Terschelling. The museum at Fort Veldhuis displays the result of many recoveries over the Last 25 years. The aim is to locate missing aircrew and make sure they are given A decent burial. Anyone spot the Dornier bits? Cheers Cees
Administrators James H Posted June 7, 2014 Author Administrators Posted June 7, 2014 Possible Bf110 motors? There are Bf 110 engines there. My favourite item was the Napier engine from a Typhoon/Tempest. That's a beast! 1
Wingco57 Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 And it was only the core engine. The top, rear and front are missing. Fantastic technology. Cees
One-Oh-Four Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 And it was only the core engine. The top, rear and front are missing. Fantastic technology. Cees If it worked...
Wingco57 Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 Erik, The Sabre finally was developed into a reasonably reliable engine, although it Had a short hour to overhaul ratio. Cees
Paulster Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Sorry, no B17 engine. Cees What do tank guys know? 1
Wingco57 Posted August 26, 2014 Posted August 26, 2014 It was heavy work but fun.That Vulture surely looks very complete. One of the few left.Cees
