The Museum re-opened after reorganisation the day before this shot of their C-47, which had been inside when I first visited in 2019. The dayglo has faded quite badly. Originally taken on strength by the USAAF as 42-100731 in 1943, it joined KLM as PH-TBH in 1946 and moved on to the AMI in 1950, ending its service with 14° Stormo in the early nineties.
