For those interested, rather last minute, there is kind of an open day at the Hemkade in Zaandam. It's a weekend with a military theme (the location is a former ammunition factory amongst others), and the company that is restoring two aircraft here should be taking part.
I am posting this while underway, so I won't look up the exact details, but I'm talking about aBobcat and something similar from memory.
If you want more info: Google is your friend
And indeed seen today were the two expected aircraft, plus two more.
"B-69" AT-16 u. rest (ex B-119)
CF-GLI UC-64A u. rest (ex 43-5374)
(N58147) UC-78 std (ex 43-31994)
(?) B.47 std
The Harvard indeed came from Overloon and will be restored, after which it will be going to Soesterberg museum. Another Harvard will move to Overloon in return. The Bobcat is put in storage for now, while work on the Harvard and Norseman is ongoing. The Bell 47 is a new arrival, somewhere from "Eritrea, or Indonesia, or something similar". The cockpit was almost empty and the c/n plate was missing unfortunately. The owner has two more Bell 47 that are being made airworthy. Any info on this one is welcome obviously. Both stored aircraft are in a seperate building by the way, and all will be visible through windows.
