Thanks Oscar! (the angle of the sun is terrible around that ETA, but I'm giving it a shot, thanks again! )

If it's Fokker F60 U-01 it will look like this, taken yesterday:

U-01 and U-03 were both parked outside today at the far southwesterly corner of the Fokker storage grounds. U-01 was still there at 1700lt (U-03 was in the air at that time). I went back home immediately after U-03's landing, so I did witness where it was parked. ATA was 1750lt.

Good luck and happy hunting!

A bit off topic, but may I ask you all what the reason that this F-60 where in this colourscheme?
I've never heard of painting the U-01 in other coulors....
Maybe missed an thing?

Hope you can answer!
Grtz!

Might be the colors new owner Peru is using for its aircraft?

It's simple: a new owner means new colors and markings U-01 and U-03 were stored at Woensdrecht for a quite a few years, after they'd been withdrawn from use by the KLu, together with the two other F.60's U-02 and U-04. 01 and 03 were fitted for Maritime Patrol a few years before they were withdrawn. This made them of interest to Peru. They were sold to that country's navy recently, and both are being prepared by Fokker for their upcoming delivery.

As already mentioned, they will depart next week.
Just wait because the exact departure times and serials will be put on this site.
