A Zipper across to Holland 9-12 April 2010 Ade Hairsine (Any help with the requests please to brigid.hairsine@sky.com)
Click image for full size picture
A road trip to
The Netherlands and Germany over a long weekend
for 2 museum visits, an open museum store,
some wrecks and relics and two military exercises looked like a good
idea to get some numbers in the book and a load of good photos. The name of
the trip came about when we looked at the amount of F-104 Starfighters we
logged and as you may know "A Zipper" is one of the Starfighters nick-names so
it just had to be, We left on Friday evening as per usual
and went off South

After the drive to the tunnel and up the E40
motorway for an hour or so we arrived at Ostende, The call here was to look
for the Ugandan AF AB-206 which is on its way to Africa but the early
morning Mist put that to an end, yet another goes on the list for next time.

Another trip
done and quite a few in the bag on this trip as we visited places we had
not done before, If you were counting up the number of "Zippers" we logged
it was around 22 mark.
My thanks as
always to the guys with me
