Yesterday I received the new Scramble magazine and I read that there would be a MiG-23 in Swalmen. In the magazine I read that this aircraft would be at the company Har Vaessen transport at the Sportlaan in Swalmen.
When I went to Swalmen today I dind't see any aircraft at this location. I decided to call the comapny. An empolyee seemed to be a bit surprised when he heard I knew about the aircraft. He told me that the aircraft was no longer at this location and that is was moved to another location (he didn't tell me which location). The employee also told me the aircraft was packed in plastic and hard to recognise as an aircraft. The employee also told me the aircraft was privatly owned.
On my way back home I saw some trucks of Har Vaessen transport parked at a location near the Tolhuisweg in Swalmen. I decided to turn in this road and at the end of this dead-end street I saw the MiG-23 at a sort of storage location. The MiG-23 was packed in blue plastic. Near the MiG I saw another aircraft. Looked like a singe engined propellor aircraft. It really looked lika a Saab S-91 (maybe the PH-RLH which is also from the PS Aero collection in Kessel).
Can anyone confirm the identity of the Saab ?
