That can't be right. I can remember this bet very well (and the consequence), but I have been to Luxeuil only once: 28 May 1992. I think that is the correct date.

Erwin
the date was written on the backside of the photo hans gave me...,

Erwin is right it is 28 May 1992. I won about 80 guilders that day. What consequence do you mean ????

Yeah, I remember this too.

But I also remember that over half of the people who took the bet, afterwards couldn't "remember" they had to pay, or at least not the amount of money they promised beforehand :-(

Like the picture though 8)

Well, you running around on the taxiway :D
And if I can remember well, a Jaguar stopping for you? Or was that just the legend created afterwards?

Erwin
Well I was standing next to it and to my recollection it was a French Vampire, am I right, Hans? (he must have seen it, being eye to eye with this bird).

I'm a Twenthe spotter by the way, and it's telling that the only spotter's archive on this forum is abot Soesterberg spotters: they were certainly the craziest bunch of spotters I was ever around :D

And if any of the other spotting groups feel challenged by this remark: please go ahead and create your own archive over here, it's a lot of fun!

Jeroen.

No, it were two French Jaguars. But they did not stop.
