Baarlo & Kessel (collection)

T-33 16520 indeed used to be at Paris-Massy.
For my own information: where do I find the c/n plate of a Su-22?

Main landing gear right and left side if you're looking in the forward direction. Most Su's have a blue stamp and a plate. At Baarlo I saw the first one where the stamp was overpainted...

OK, thanks. That will come in handy some next time

Mr. Smedts also bought Caravelle F-BHRA from Air France at Paris-Massy and is in process of transferring the plane to Baarlo. This as such is extraordinary but on top it is special in so far that it is the first Caravelle build.

That's great news! But it's actually the third Caravelle built - don't forget the 2 prototypes F-BHHH & F-BHHI.

Apparently this one has now arrived at Baarlo? Anyone know when this actually happened

They started dismantling the aircraft the week before my visit on May 14th. The wings and engines where at Baarlo at that moment. The week after they planned to go back to France to resume dismantling and transportation to Baarlo.

I also noticed on the premises the tail of Belgian AF F-104 FX-02 as well as wings, most likely of the same plane.

At the Kessel location I saw another Belgian AF F-104, of which I can not find any report on Internet.

PS Aero is to export 11 (yes, eleven) military aircraft to Greece this year. Yes, the export permits have already been granted...

I just did a search about its status and came across the following picture on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/l8rmt/6124126250/) and I must say they've done an excellent job putting it back together!

Hi there,

Last Wednesday, 11 January I made a short stop at the Baarlo-storage. Behind the Aldi-supermarket I noticed the newly arrived ex Luftwaffe 50+98 C-160D.
The wings were removed and the plane is parked behind the special color Atlantic 61+11. Further not much changes, some a/c left the storage.
Two new aircraft on display along the main road next to the F-104G ''D-8212'' on pole: F-104G 26+72 in Marineflieger-demo c/s and MiG-23MF ''593 red NVA'' in glossy dark grey. I presume this should be ex 20+09/Lw?

Regards,

Maurits

Today I drove by and the garage door most to the left was open. One aircraft was inside, but it was hard to see. Looked like a Jaguar, but it has parts with dayglow. When I turned the car the door closed, so I couldn't see it again.
Do someone know which aircraft this is?

In front of the building were standing "D-8212", 593 and 26+72.

[Patrol321]

The aircraft you saw with dayglow might have been the french Mirage 3b.

The Mirage 3B 235 is sold to the Pilas Foundation in Greece. If you saw a Jaguar it is
most likely that it was the XX947 FE. The other one, is the XZ357 FK at the storage
in Kessel.

Thanks for all the replies. I mailed the owner and he told me it was the Tornado.
