Eargasm lol. Good word to describe it! Here some V12 sounds during start up / taxing in a little movie I put together. https://vimeo.com/342425973?activityReferer=1

Today I visited Volkel airbase to see the airforce airhow. Lots of people had the same wonderful idea. Here some pics :-) . . . . . . . . .

Meteor could be used for some ground attack work. Used sparsly in that sense.

I visited this airshow in the north east of Holland today. 10th time they organised it (every 2 years). Quit a nice planeset. Some start to call it "little Duxford" Here some pics. . . . hmmm....what seems to be missing? . . . . . . . . . .

Came across this old article. Thought I share :-)

Today the Fokker D.21 replica build by ATN at Hoogeveen airfield was rolled out. She is not finished yet but almost. 13000 man ours were spent until now. Another 2000 or so to go. At the earliest her first flight will be at the end of this year.

Jan Linzel (103) passed away a week ago. Fokker D21 pilot in may 1940 he later joined the RAF and flew Spitfire and Tempest missions. https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/dutch-air-force-pay-tribute-to-former-ww-ii-fighter-pilot-in-cork-1.3886776?mode=amp&fbclid=IwAR0em_9s6-PQhQ1gm3wpK329TtIkbae2TMNl87NXXUMrFMUGSCL4J_yzTxI

Shaken not stirred .....

Had to check a couple of books but then I found it ...

Indeed +1

The 1000KG bombload was tested with some Me 262's. Not on operational missions as far as I read. I have the following book and it mentions the 2nd V7 (W Nr 170 303) being used for different bombloads up to a 1000KG and with the help of RATOG to keep take off runs somewhat "usefull". Flown by testpilot Herlitzius. 700 km/h at 800 meters height was a bit "nerverecking"

Lest euch noch etwas?

Might as well go for a west offensive scenario ......
