REQ 1993 Schaarsbergen/Deelen

[alexgoot]

Hi guys,

On 18th sept 1993 I visited Deelen to view the Market Garden flights with many other spotters...I logged the following:

F-104G D-8049 ?
F-104G D-8256 Preserved Gateguard
F-104G D-8281 GIA Schaarsbergen kazerne
NF-5A K-3046 Preserved?
Hunter F4 N-150 Dumped fire dump Schaarsbergen
F-84F P-277 Dumped fire dump Schaarsbergen

Flying on the airfield:
Hercules XV179 LTW
Hercules XV187 LTW
Hercules C3P XV290 LTW
Hercules XV301 LTW
Hercules C3P XV303 LTW
C-130E 70-1264 435th AW

There seem to be some misreads in my preserved and GIA stuff....
D-8049 went to turkey, true?? as this was the case, which F-104 did I see???
K-3046 also went to Turkey, which NF-5 did I see??

I found a log from a "show" a week earlier...but no mentioning of a NF-5 or something like the serial of the 104..the other two zippers seem to fit nicely...

who can help me out here, as I wasn't on base, the logged birds must have been noted by more souls...

Hope to hear from you!!!

Hi Alex,

I was not there that day, but only the 11th, the "openday of the LETS Schaarsbergen".
indeed no matching 104s at the LETS, maybe you saw D-8098 that was for years stored in the middle off Deelen AB?
There was no NF-5 at the LETS at 11-9-93, so can't help you on that one....

grtz,
Erik Kamphuis

On 07/03/1995 when I was in the Dutch military and based at Schaarsbergen I made some pictures at the LETS facility.
You can find those pictures here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/erwinalex ... 1070/page2

Now this one regarding the Alouette III serial A-274 is very interesting. Direct link to the picture >https://www.flickr.com/photos/erwinalex ... 372851070/

It has clearly the tailboom of the A-350 which is preserved at Aeroseum Gotenborg, Sweden

So, what is the real identity of what helicopter in Sweden and/or Schaarsbergen?

Beste Erwin,
De Alouette op jouw foto is zeker de A-274. De heli verongelukte al in 1967, maar de restanten zijn lange tijd op de LETS in gebruik gebleven voor instructiedoeleinden.
Ik zag het toestel daar meerdere malen en het constructienummer was nog op de neus afleesbaar. De staartboom van de A-350 is er pas later op bevestigd.
Zie ook het standaardwerk van Coen van den Heuvel over de A-274. Ik bedoel het boekje´Koninklijke Luchtmacht, Vliegtuig- en registratieoverzicht 1945-2005´.
Groet van
