Hi from the Netherlands.
Joined today and hope to find out some about the early years of aviation.
Have had kerosin in my blood since I was a kid and things didn't get any better after I left naval aviation in 1990.  Based at Hoogeveen airport, the Netherlands I assist local groups with maintenance, PR, photos, whatever. Right now we have some projects going on like the building a Pietenpol Air Camper which hopefully will be taking off next year. Its supposed to be powered by an Anzani engine which is also the reason I showed up overhere. Further on we have a Ryan R-22 (original) and SE-5A (replica) besides many more 'younger' aircraft. Cheers, André

Right now we still have to do some technical upgrades on the engine. Its powered by a Ford V-6 car engine and the ignition needs upgrading to make more reliable. This full scale Se-5 replica is one of 5 built by Albert Braun/Brown. Think only 2 are airworthy right now. Besides ours there should be one in the US owned by Roland Gilliam. Up what I understood from him is that his plane participated in the movie "The Aviator" |
