Dave,

There must be at least three Sabres in Holland. We used to have two (both trawled from the sea) but sold one of these to a third party. The museum in Liefelde has another one recovered by the Dutch AF some twenty years ago, it was on display at Twenthe until its recent transfer to the AVOG group.
