Hello Buz

Recently a Dutch book was published about the Dutch B-25's. It also mentioned these ex-Dutch wrecks. Also that quite a lot of them were recovered (or substantial sections) during the nineties. Are these being used as the basis for a rebuild project (or projects)?

What is still to be found there I wonder.

The Dutch authorities or military are not very historically minded I must confess.

We had a veteran B-25 (old style tailgun position) of many WWII-missions to it's credit standing outside at Overloon for decades, almost corroding into the ground. Some years ago it was finally restored and put under cover.
