Another peaceful moment in 1975: throwing stones with pudding at each other ,as you can see the hit change was very low: Jan Schets (left) and Frans van Zelst(middle) did not worry that much during an "heavy enemy stone attack". I was the only who respond

Great pic Henk. I wouldn't have recognized you. I did recognize Jan en Frans.

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 30 years).

And here's a picture of Dan Brown's competitor, author of the bestseller ' De Spotter ', Mr. Hans Drost. Will he be signing copies of his book at some open house this year?

Re: "spotters archive soesterberg"
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).

What a cute picture of me. I think about 30 years ago ? Do you know a more exact date ?
After 8 months "Beverwijk" it was possible to start walking again

Re: "spotters archive soesterberg"
They were great, them Zenith's. I always thought I was the only spotter with one of those. I think I still have mine lying around somewhere gathering dust. I used it with a 135 mm lens and converter with a diameter of no more then 5 cm, which made it look very weird. Can't remember what aperture the combination sported, but it can't have been very goodHansDrost wrote:Wow! I guess that's me.

Very funny to read your stories BTW. Even though they were written in the very beginning of my career in the SSB-scene in 1978/79, I keep checking out the background of the pictures to see if I was there.

If I would have passed him, I wouldn't have recognized him! But if I look longer, I guess he looks like his father!http://www.reccereports.com

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.

Time to step back in history again.
Number 9. A visit to the Museum in Soesterberg with Dick Wels.
