There was also a team called ''Sandbag Daimond''
They flew just one year with streaks of the 315 Squadron from Eindhoven Welschap.

What year was that team?
Don't forget 6 years of F-104G solo display flying!!!
What years was this display between? Squadrons? Pilots?

Thanks for the help!!

Don't forget the 'Ruiten Vier' team from 327 sqn flying with Meteors. If I remember correctly on of these Meteors is preserved in the MLM.

Also famous was Hans van der Werf with his F-104 demo (312 sqn, from 1974-1979).

You should really try to get a copy of the book 'Demoteams van de Koninklijke Luchtmacht'. There is a lot of info and nice pics in it.

Don't know if you can call this a demoteam, but I remember 4 Volkel based F104's displayed during an KLu Open Day on De Peel. If I remember correctly this was in 1980. I remember the event vividly, because one of the demopilots was my dad, who you all probably also know as one of the regular commentators of the KLu Open Days 'till 2006, together with (recently deciesed) Willem den Ouden.
Unique part of that demo was that the F104's dropped a lot of flyers above the audience. Sadly the flyers were scattered all over the area because the force of the wind was too high. The flyer showed a picture of the performing pilots.
