Photo Comment

The ex-Duke of Brabant Air Force B-25N PH-XXV was expected to fly again soon after this period of heavy maintenance. It joined the fleet in 2004 while still registered N320SQ in commemoration of 320 Sqdn RNLAF which flew Mitchells from March 1943 to August 1945. The name on the left side translates from Indonesian as something like "are you looking for pleasure?"
