LOG 24/04/2010 Schaarsbergen: RF-84F FR31 "P-7"

Post by mwpeters »

Found on the former KLu LETS facility on the Oranjekazerne (Schaarsbergen) was former Belgium AF RF-84F FR31. The Thunderflash was painted as KLu P-7.

I think the flash could not been seen from outside perimeters.

It was never part of the LETS fleet.

Good evening,

The Flash can indeed (but difficult) be seen from outside
Easier way to get this one is to visit the Oranjekaserne barracks "Historisch Museum Grenadiers & Jagers",
openened 01-04/31-10 each Wednesday & Thursday 13.00/16.00hrs, admission free.
The RF-84F is parked in front of this museum.


regards,
Remco

Indeed it was never used as an instructional airframe but used as "gateguard".
