Small correction; manufacturer is Letov (without the 'k').
How sure are you about them being ex Czech AF? As far as I know, the East Germans also operated them, with the same color scheme, and they didn't carry any nationality markings.

Yesterday I asked Piet Smedts about this. The two Letkov drones are bought in Germany and used to belong to the former East-German army he told me.

These drones already have history here in The Netherlands. Four of them were seen and photographed in an industrial area in Bergen (NL) as early as February 16th, 2008. Among those four were 06-14 and 09-06:

Here's two pictures I made that day:

06-14 (+2 more unidentified, directly behind it)

09-06:

Hello Peter,

Thanks for the complete review of Letov's present in the Netherlands, I never realized (although seen many times) the one in Mook is a "real" airplane !

Although I never paid attention to it, there is one more, next to the road from Oploo to The Rips (Noord Brabant) at a farm, mounted on a pole. There is a number on it, but I never tried to read it.

Isn't this drown subject not slightly getting off topic ?...

Don't think the location of these drones have anything to do with Baarlo & Kessel anymore
