• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    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 politician 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 among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

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.

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!
