Tony,

I think this is the one which was recovered complete during the early fifties. I have some information at home which might point into this direction. It wasn't recovered by the Dutch AF, but probably Rijkswaterstaat (don't know the English name for it, but this gouvernment department is responsible for the lakes, dykes etc. in Holland)
