W&R in the Kleine Brogel area?
Being near Kleine Brogel the next week, I would like to know if there are any wrecks&relics in the neighbourhood that are easily accessible. I know of the aircraft on the Pampa ranges, and of the aircraft on KeeBee itself, but: are there any others around? If I remember correctly, there used to be a Mig21 at Lommel. Is it still present, and if so, where? Any help would be appreciated!

Does anybody know any W&R nearby KB besides the a/c preserved on base and the F-104 on the roundabout?
Another question, where is the spot to see the preserved a/c on Eindhoven, and are they photographable from outside?
Maybe the mod can make a new topic for this question if that is better in spotting NL&Belgium

Could you define "nearby"?Flanker27 wrote:Does anybody know any W&R nearby KB besides the a/c preserved on base and the F-104 on the roundabout?

Some options for you might be: Sanicole itself, with a SF-260 fuselage in a hangar and a F-84 preserved. Pampa range with 2 F-84 parked there as a decoy.
Lommel, just north of Peer (near the Dutch border) with a MiG-21 and a Jet Provost. Maasbracht in NL, with a Harvard and MiG-21.

See 51°26'50.79"N / 5°23'28.20"E in Google Earth. From the A2 take the exit towards the airport (don't know which exit number) From here keep the airfield and builidings on your right hand and drive clockwise around the base. You'll spot them at the right side. Don't know if you can stop along the road.Flanker27 wrote:Does anybody know any W&R nearby KB besides the a/c preserved on base and the F-104 on the roundabout?

Alle preserved kisten op Eindhoven staan in dezelfde hoek van 't vliegveld, namelijk langs de zweverbaan op het oostelijk deel van het vliegveld, vrij dicht bij de hoofdpoort.Flanker27 wrote:Another question, where is the spot to see the preserved a/c on Eindhoven, and are they photographable from outside?
Kaartje:
* Het rode blokje bovenin is waar je vandaan komt als je de A2 verlaat bij afslag Eindhoven Airport. Volg dan de borden KLu (hoofdpoort) en dan kom je bij dat rode blokje.
* Het blauwe blokje is de hoofdpoort, daar staat de F.27, bewakers doen wel 'ns moeilijk als je zonder te vragen foto's gaat staan maken.
* De groene streep is de grasstrip voor de zwevers.
* De paarse blokjes zijn de overige preserved kisten; helaas geen van allen fatsoenlijk fotografeerbaar... Van links naar rechts:
- nep-Spitfire op paal (staat bij een gebouw, zwart weergegeven)
- F-84G
- F-84F
- NF-5A
- F-16A (door het zwart weergegeven gebouw is de F-16 lastig of misschien zelfs niet zichtbaar vanaf de weg, maar als je de grote heuvel oploopt (deze heuvel ligt aan 't rechtereind van de gele streep), dan zie je 'm tussen de gebouwen in ieder geval wèl staan.
* De gele streep zijn de plekken waar je de kisten vanaf de weg kunt zien staan.
Hoop dat je er uit komt morgen. Veel plezier!
Groeten,
Stephan
