Just six to go.

Here's number 14 with Rick Versteeg, Peter van Hattum and victim 'Japanse Staf'. Guess we gave him this nickname. I've got no idea what's his real name.

Sorry for my Dutch comments :oops: That's from the excitement from all these old warstories...

And Roel, yes, still glowing in the dark after all these years. An easy target for the security police during night flying... 8)

"Japanse Staf"? I was not aware of that name, but I guess I am honoured :wink:

Gerard,

Both criminals are hard to catch. Maybe Interpoll can help, 'cause Rick now lives in Poland and Peter is a sailor.
