Just ready the nice article on msg board: http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?p=857409#p857409 about the Belfast in Cairns... interesting golden oldie and not much seen on NL military bases. I only got one, taken at RAF Germany July 5 1970 and wearing its name SAMSON and also RAF Air Support Command on the nose, just 47 years ago...
Anyone with more shots on the Belfast??

Re: Short Belfast golden oldie
Not as old as yours Gerrit and certainly no military anymore.

Re: Short Belfast golden oldie
They only built 10 of them, so the chances of seeing one were slim outside the UK.
I never saw a military one, but like the above post shows... they were regulars at Schiphol.
So here's a slidescan of a shot I took on the 19th of october 1997:
