Story 12. This one needs some introduction and maybe it's a bit 'over the hill' In the summer of 1979 Dick, Rick and I went to the Eifel. We had booked a Gasthof in a very, very, very small and desolate German village, called Hütterscheid? The man on the picture was Herr Koos. The "inhaber"...

Great shots again Dick.

The RAF F-4's were regular visitors, the Turkish transports were not! Kebab wasn't very common those days. Everybody was eating fries from Buitenhuis or junkfood from "the SRV man".

Yeah, the thumb was huge at that time.

Here's number 11, with Henk de Ridder:

And number 10.

Again featuring the main character in this series; D.J. Wels

Great addition Dick!

The group picture is a hard one.

I think the one with a cap was Bert Strubbe and the one on the right is indeed Marcel Kradolfer. Better known as "Pleeborstel".

Keep 'm coming!

Time to step back in history again.

Number 9. A visit to the Museum in Soesterberg with Dick Wels.

Come on. Stop it guys. Okay, I gained a few ounces. I color my hair (what's left of it) slighty gray, but ...I still have those handsome looks.

Wow! I guess that's me. I was hoping that there would no pictures around of the author himself.

"Great" camera by the way (Zenith with a lousy 200mm lens).

Number 8.

He's not too hard to recognize. Is he?

Great pic Henk. I wouldn't have recognized you. I did recognize Jan en Frans. There are more than 98000 views since Roel started this thread two years ago! Up to the 100.000! Here's number 7 of the Spotter Book. This one is with Dick Wels and John Kraaijkamp (he really didn't change much in the last...

Number 6, with:

Henk de Ridder, Porno Kneus (what was his real name; Cor Knuistingh Neven?), Peter ten Berge, Huub Kattevilder, Rick Versteeg, Maico van Dijk and Peter van Hattem.

Not too bad, considering the equipment and the bad weather.

Remember that we took the bus from Bitburg station which had Spangdahlem AB on it. To our surprise it drove right on to the base and we got of close to the tower in the middle of the AB. We had a climb over a gate to leave the base.

Pfff. Henk. It keeps getting better. Hurray voor "The Scan King".

WOW Dick. The EB-57 is great. Was I there?? Guess I'll have to search the "archives".

Great shots also Roel.

Number 5.

This is Dick Wels at Spangdahlem. (summer 1979?)
