This helo appeared just outside the former Soesterberg air base, reportedly to form part of the air force museum at the base. However, the Netherlands have no history with this type of aircraft. It was transferred to the then Aviodome museum at Amsterdam-Schiphol and when the museum moved to Lelystad (and became Aviodrome) was stored at the back of a hangar. It is now meant as barter for a relevant aviation artefact. This photo is copyright © Fred Willemsen, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
