The storm front that crossed the Netherlands yesterday (4 June) flattened a Romney-hangar at Hoogeveen Airfield (EHHO). Several historic aircraft were (severely) damaged; an Aeronca is believed to be a write-off, the Stinson L-5 that was due to fly to the L-Birds meet in Normandy has a damaged prop, huge dents in the metalwork, and gashes in the wings and fuselage. In other words, it's unflyable and will not be able to make it to France..

Zoals bijna altijd betaal je de verzekeringsmaatschappijen een boel geld, maar blijkt aan het eind van het verhaal nét jouw situatie niet gedekt te zijn... jammer dan!
Ook in dit geval dus, vandaar onderstaand stukje op de website van RTV Drenthe over crowdfunding:

Above link is to the website of RTV Drenthe and is about a crowdfunding action to repair the Stinson L-5 Sentinel, after the Insurance companies refuse to pay up.

Apparently, Aeronca PH-FUN indeed is a write-off
