Could anyone tell me when SP-2H 218 was placed out of the public area at the Militaire Luchtvaart Museum? Thanks

You mean she was displayed outside after retirement and before cutting her up ?

Currently only her nose sections remains in storage and her tail section is at TU Delft.

more info is always welcome !

218 was wfu by the Marine Luchtvaart Dienst on August 28, 1981 if that's what you mean. The cockpitsection was displayed in the MLM museum (and, indeed, the tail at Delft Technical University) soon afterwards. It could be seen there for a long time but was stored in hangar 33 somewhere before 2005.

Anybody know of any images of her being displayed at MLM ? (so not ones from her in storage and pre 2006) my earliest image is from 2006, big gap between my images from 1981 and 2006

also can somebody confirm that both her engines are still around ? in 2006 I saw only 1.

Thanks
