It's a mock up the airport got from the Aviodrome. That was a 2006 action.cHabu wrote:.

And some locals....
Anyone for the ID of the Fokker 'cockpit', painted as Fokker 100, on display ?
Bye, Chris.
En "morgen" is dus deze zaterdag..."Morgen vertrekken de Spitfires G-CCCA en G-BUOS rond 09:30 vanaf Antwerpen
naar Lelystad en keren om 13:00 uur weer terug naar Antwerpen."
1 I think you saw a cockpit from a Fokker 50 that was not finished at the time Fokker went into bankruptcy, and the administrators decided not to finish this particular machine. It was used at the Aviodome at Schiphol to make simulated para-jumps by visitors.David Moore wrote:I wonder if any of you Lelystad experts can help out a recent first-time visitor, please. I was there on 05.04.08 (the morning of the MLM storage site open afternoon) & have a few queries. I hope someone might be able to identify these for me.
1. In a wooded area was a F.27 (?) cockpit which carried the number 218 above the door with a fuselage. I couldn’t decide whether the fuselage matched the cockpit or not as it was possibly of smaller diameter.
2. Through the window of a building which is I think an annexe to the museum I saw Fokker Dr.1 replica (PH-DRI) & Nieuport 28 replica (PH-NIE). Behind them was what appeared to be another F.27 fuselage section, without a fin. Is this the remains of PH-NIV, please? Or maybe something else?
Question 1 has been nicely dealt with, so I'll focus on the other 3:David Moore wrote: 2.

3. Inside the main hall of the Aviodrome museum was a Pou de Ciel marked PH-POU – is this a real airframe, please, or perhaps a replica? If it’s a real one, is PH-POU its correct registration?
4. In front of the T2 hangar of the Aviodrome were two unpainted or silver cockpits/forward fuselages. One at least I now know to be a Stearman Hammond Y-1-S, possible the other one was too (it was a bit more disassembled than the other but was definitely twin engined or twin boomed). I know the museum has 4 of these Stearman Hammond aircraft – can anyone tell me which one(s) were outside that day?
I would be grateful for any assistance with these requests.
Thanks very much in advance!
