Yo, Dutch Simmers !

I really liked our little get together at Overloon in February and was wondering if we're planning for a similar 'meet' like end of November maybe? Starting off the 'painting season' as it were ?

My agenda is already rather full, so I thought to inquire rather sooner than later ;-)

Francois.
 
Sure, why not?

The only thing in my agenda for November is the FS Weekend on the 6th and 7th.

:)
 
Cool, we'll be back from the Sates on Nov 9th. All free after that.

And yes, another museum would be good. Any proposals?
 
Indeed, Overloon was a great Dutch SOH meet:wiggle:

I'm at the FS weekend (as usual, I'd say:kilroy:)
So we'll meet there (maybe not all of us)

Soesterberg is supposed to be a nice place, I've never been there.

Cheers, Rob
 
Soesterberg is nice indeed, I have been there once with my daughter Catalina.
Her namesake wasn't there at the time, she wanted her money back...
Closer to home, the Atlantikwall museum in Noordwijk?
 
No Fs Add-on in Lelystad this year..? :jawdrop:

Soesterberg isn't bad, but they've already started to break up the aircraft (At least the ones outside) and move them to be repainted for the new meseum that will open in 2013.
 
De Atlantikwal is closed around that time, I believe. Would have been nice!

And no, no FSAddon this year. That weekend we're leaving San Francisco and I couldn't plan things differently. Alas !

Airborne Museum Oosterbeek? Is vernieuwd en ben ik al jaren niet meer geweest.
 
Another option to keep in mind is the 'Fliegerhorst Deelen' excursie with the DRG: http://www.fliegerhorstdeelen.nl/

There's one on 13/11 and one on 11/12. Done it a few years ago; very interesting and it includes a tour of the Luftwaffe command bunker 'Diogenes'.
 
Well you don't get to go to the base, but you will visit some of the remains of the former Fliegerhorst which was much larger than the current base. Apart from the bunker you'll get to see former hangars, the remise for the 'bomb train' that carried ammo to the base, and the Heidekamp including the home of NJG.1 founder Wolfgang Falcke. After the tour you get a free ticket for either the Deelen or Schaarsbergen museum.

Having said that, it might be wiser to take such a tour next year in the summer; the weather usually isn't that great in November to be outside most of the day.
