Back in spotting mode again last Saturday for a day trip to The Netherlands, The reason for the trip was a visit to a company called PS Aero at Baarlo not far from Maastricht in the South of the country, The guy who owns PS is a BMW car dealer but he has a passion for aircraft and he buys and sells aircraft for static display etc, A while ago the tours around PA were discontinued but over the last few months they have started again so we thought it was time to have a look. I had been to Baarlo only once before and that was about six years ago so quite a lot had changed. Have a look at PSAeros site it's found at http://www.psaero.com/site/index.php and maybe even book your self a tour round, It's worth it !!. We left York at 20-15 last Friday evening heading off South east. Time was a little tight and we were on the ferry and not the tunnel so we went direct to Dover without stopping. The ferry was full of kids going skiing there was nowhere to sit down it was cold and the food well it looked yuck and it was expensive ("Hell i love that train and the tunnel !!") so we did not eat or sit down for long anywhere, The first stop as usual once over the other side of the channel was Brussels and logged there and on this trip were these items of interest, But first a 69.999 mph (Again) East Midlands look onto Cargo Ramp East.

us looking down the drive at the "Staff" which is very easy to see appx 100
meters inside the depot

About
an hour before we on Friday evening some info came out
on "MSF" about some Belgium Army A-109's at a garage in the Rotterdam area, We
went to find them and logged four parked out for sale if you want to put your
hand in your pocket
Nieuwerkerk
Aan den Ijssel 13-02-10
The garage was soon found and seen were these
four, The garage is getting or has four more, The compound at the rear is very
big and full of trucks and bus's and we could not see in very well or get
access as it was all locked up
H-09 A-109 Belguim Army
H-11 A-109 Belguim Army
H-18 A-109 Belguim Army
H-34 A-109 Belguim Army
As i was typing this log an e-mail on MSF has
confirmed another two of the eight A-109's has arrived here so i don't think
we missed any they just were not there, The other four aircraft are reported
to be H-10, H-12, H-13, H-15, Info taken from MSF.
