Photo Comment

Preserved at an independence war memorial in erroneous Dutch markings, even though a Mustang which was shot down near here was British, not Dutch. This Mustang is assumed to be the Indonesian air force's F-354, which never served with the Dutch, either. 2017 update: aircraft can be seen in Google Street View wearing a French cocarde, i.e. a British roundel again applied in a wrong way...
