Very old Woendsdrecht request

[GSymington]

Hello group

My one and only visit to Woendsdrecht was back in October 1979 when I was lucky enough to get a tour of the Fokker facility.

As well as the Friendships and Fellowships(I can provide a log should anyone be interested)there was a military overhaul facility containing SP-2Hs 205 and 210.
There was also a T-33 fuselage that I have never been able to identify.
Can anyone identify the T-33?

Thanks in advance

The two Friendships above for Swift Aire(Air with an e!)were newly painted for a US commuter airline that I hadn`t heard of.One had been painted incorrectly and was a mirror image of the other.Unfortunately we were not allowed to take photos,perhaps somebody at Fokker was embarrassed!
I don`t think Swift Aire lasted very long,does anyone else remember them?

There is some information about the Swift Aire aircraft on the Fokker F-27 Friendship facebook page. Even a picture of the incorrect applied colors.

Gareth, are you aware there is a T-33 at the roundabout just behind the base gate ? Maybe was this one. It is M-54 painted up as M-51 Stuntteam ' Whiskey Four ' . Some info about it at the internet [ youtube ]

I wasn`t aware that there is a T-33 on display.However,according to Otger van der Kooij`s book EMOOS 2014 she arrived in July of`85.
