Ex. CH 159, OY-DED, SE-ASE and OY-ASE. The aircraft was bought in 1955 for the new to develop aviation museum. The aircraft arrived (flying) at Amsterdam on December 30, 1955. In October 1959, permission was granted to fly the aircraft as H-NACT, without actually having the corresponding paperwork. this permission was valid until November 1959. The aircraft underwent extensive restoration in the 1980's in an attempt to make it airworthy again. The intention was to operate it as before, but this proved impossible. When the Aviodrome moved to Lelystad, the aircraft received its current markings.

This really is the former OY-ASE.

Formerly H-NADR (c/n 4992), an F.VIIa. Converted to F.VIIa/3m when chartered by American publisher Van Lear Black with the registration changed to H-NADP because Black had previously used F.VIIa H-NADP (4990) for a return flight to Batavia. F.VIIa/3m H-NADP (4992) used for an aborted flight to Cape Town in May 1928. Afterwards converted to F.VIIb/3m with new c/n 5105. To Black as G-AADZ 1 February 1929.

This magnificent 1928 built aircraft is part of the wonderful Aviodrome Museum at Lelystad. It is the former OY-ASE, ex SE-ASE ex OY-DED ex CH-159. It was given a four second exposure at f.8 and a flash was open-fired towards the tail once the shutter was open. Many thanks to all of the staff at the Aviodrome.
