OT: Koolhoven F.K.51 replica.

[Ferry_vO]

Had a chance today to go to our national military aviation museum and take a few shots of their latest addition, the Koolhoven F.K.51 replica.

Info on the original aircraft: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koolhoven_F.K.51

Good to have a chance to see it before the museum closes and moves to the new location in 2011; shame the Brewster Buffalo is already in storage without having been on public display.

This would be a nice addition to the FS9 Dutch 1940 fleet! If I'm correct these were stationed at Vlissingen-Souburg. Thanks for the shots!
