When is Leeuwarden not Leeuwarden?

Postby expat » Mon Jun 23, 2008 4:59 am

When it turns in to Overloon because the mate you are going with gets the date wrong and you turn up the day after the display :o Still we managed to save a bit of the day by going to Overloon tank museum all be it a 200 km drive in the opposite direction. It was not the day I expected or the way I wanted to christen my nice new Nikon D60, but it was better than having a sharp stick inserted into a bodily orifice of your choice. The museum is very good. WW2 until present day, well 90's at least. Most of the tanks are still drivable too. If you are in the area for what ever reason, I would recommend it.

This is part one, Tanks recovered after the Battle of Overloon. Compression has been quite hard on these pictures unfortunately.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
