I don't want to hijack Mike's thread so i will ask a brief question here.
Could somebody in the know post which squadrons were equipped with which aircraft at which base so that I can prepare for Mike's NF-5s and F-104s.

Thanks.

Steve, from the 1988 MAM, the F-5's are listed as:

313 Sqn Twenthe
314 Sqn Eindhoven
316 Sqn Gilze-Rijen

Hope that helps. Sorry, no info on the F-104's

OK so whilst there was some moving around this is the setup for the majority of their lives and would probably suffice for most people.

Twenthe ( EHTW)
313 Sqn NF-5A
315 Sqn NF-5A

Eindhoven (EHEH)
314 Sqn NF-5A

Gilze Rijen (EHGR)
316 Sqn NF-5A

Volkel (EHVK)
306 Sqn RF-104G
311 Sqn F-104G
312 Sqn F-104G

Leeuwarden (EHLW)
322 Sqn F-104G
323 Sqn F-104G
TCA (Training en Conversie Afdeling) F-104G

Now comes the fun part, getting the scenery together. I think I shall re-check Stew's empire as I am sure he did a couple.

Steve,

I did them all (I think) and you are welcome to use any/all of them.

Let me know if you can't find anything and I'll get it to you.

You are quite right, Stew. You did them all.
