• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

A few photos from a recent trip to the island of Texel, to the north of the Netherlands. Even though the war mostly past by the island until near the end (Which is another story.), a lot of aircraft have been lost in the Wadden Sea surrounding the island, and parts have been recovered on the beaches and by local fishermen.
Here are a few interesting finds from several museums.
