Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

University of Technology in Delft (and EHRD) 21-01-'09

Today I made a trip to the University of Technology in Delft. They've got a nice collection of aircraft parts, one F-16A and a Alouette III.

I'm not very satisfied with the pics, difficult lighting and it's a bit stuffed-up inside their hangar, so I couldn't take a decent pic. However, I really had a great day, and would like to thank Jelle a thousand times for his support! Hope you guys like them:

1. She was written-off when the nosewheel collapsed during taxiing.

4. She was used for the United Nations Transitional Authority (UNTAC) mission in Cambodia; for every mission she flew, she received a red elephant.

5. And with a helping hand, her tail rotor spined!

6.

7. Yes, I know, there are some spots in this pic

8. Written-off after a crash in Germany, killing the pilot

9. Tail of a a Royal Netherlands Navy Tracker

On my way back home a made a quick stop @ EHRD
10. A B727 (Goverment of Mali)

Nice shots of the TU Delft collection. I send the link to somebody who used to work there, I guess he will like to see it. I think I have been there once too.

Wow that Alouette brings back something! My dad contributed to a lot of those elephants (as in, flew the missions). I think he'll like seeing this. When I went to the Open Days of the TU Delft last time to check out some studies (finishing my VWO this year), they had just moved the whole collection to a different hangar because the old hall was undergoing construction.
