Re: 31may2018: DC-2 to go to Nieuw Vennep transport museum..
Aside from the (once airworthy) NC39165 (marked "PH-AJU") there was a second DC-2 shipped to the Netherlands: the former RAAF A30-14, in various bits'n'pieces. Which one is the article talking about?

"PH-AJU" / NC39165 is to stay in Lelystad in more or less airworthy condition,
RAAF A30-14 is the mentioned "rust bucket"
that is now to move to Nieuw Vennep.
RAAF A30-14 was imported by the DDA in 1988 or so.
She is now way past the minimum condition to make her airworthy again.
Already was when the Koninklijke Marine transported her to Holland.
"PH-AJU"/ NC39165 is not grounded because of technical reasons, by the way.
Fingers can be pointed to certain KLM-people...
