Vissenaken storage question

[Jan Hendriksen]

Hello all,

with the upcoming Bevekom airshow i was wondering if the stored ex RBAF Mirage fuselages
can be seen from outside at the Vissenaken depot?

Thanks,

Jan.

Nope, been there last year and walked the fence. None of the Mirages where seen outside, so I expect they cleared out the site!

Two of them have turned up at Bitburg (serious!) One is (BA-51) and the other one at present is unknown. They were noted there recently by some fellow-Eindhoven spotters. See also post and pictures on the ewas-site:

Interesting! But since I am not member of the EWAS? Can somebody who is, please be so kind to explain me where I can find those Mirages on Bitburg (or anybody else who knows?)

[frank kramer]

I haven't been there myself, but I just put the question to my Eindhoven colleagues who found them there and asked them to post the info here.

If you follow 'Zur Startbahn' you will find them on your right hand side along with some old Russian vehicles. These vehicles are hard to miss and if you walk up to the fence you'll see the aircraft.

Okay cool! Thanks a lot!

Additional information thanks to Otger van der Kooij and Frank van de Waardenburg: the other fuselage at Bitburg is also ex-Vissenaken: Mirage 5BD BD-13. Both (BA-51) and BD-13 have been there since 2009, so that tallies with Wygert's observation that they were gone in 2009! This leaves only the fuselages of BA-16 and BA-45 unaccounted for.

If you search the word 'asbest' in this Dutch text you'll find a few lines about Vissenaken Depot and why a lot of pieces have moved (and/or will move).

Hello,

I've been inside the fenced area in June talking to the owner. There are still 4 Mirages! I've made pictures of all 4 fuselages.

Cheers
