 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Good one! Protection of crew and passengers is always top priority.aviodromefriend wrote:Thought it had something to do with keeping the temperature inside within reasonable limits.
There could be many reasons. Most likely the original transparancies are painted over with aluminium paint which reflects heat, but even as important covers may cracks which may develop over time in the transparant plastic.aviodromefriend wrote:Thought it had something to do with keeping the temperature inside within reasonable limits.phkza wrote:Even off-topic, maar weet iemand waarom bij deze (en vele andere) kist de ramen zijn vervangen door een soort ondoorzichtig materiaal?

I'd much rather have 'm show A-366 just as it was. If they wanted to show a SAR version as it operated from the island, then create the serial the way it was done, so that this would have become H-66. Pretending it is H-08 while it isn't isn't right IMHO. And anticipating on those that will say that this isn't done for aircraft spotters, but for the general public: The general public wouldn't have minded seeing A-366 or H-66 instead of H-08, so that's a BS reason.
BUT: still pleased that another Alouette is preserved, still better than nothing. And the paintjob looks great too!
I fully agree

o ++ O ++ oCan't agree with that. H-66 would be far worse than H-08. H-66 never did exist so that would trully be to falsify history. At least H-08 had a history at Texel and this way it pays tribute to the one that was lost many years ago. A very common thing to do when preserving aircraft, as the original crashed one is usually no longer available.marcel32us wrote:so that this would have become H-66.
