De Belgen mogen een dikke lange neus geven aan de Koninlijke Luchtmacht, die al veel eerder twee aftandse Hercen kocht maar ze vooralsnog niet eens heeft zien vliegen. Waar hebben dit Belgen dit exemplaar eigenlijk vandaan gehaald?
Answers will be questioned.....

In a certain way as Sabena Technics is now a subsidiary of (French) international maintenance group TAT and most of the studies for these repair and modification works were made at Bordeaux...
