VH-NLS (cn 10105) The original 1958 F27 flight deck. Taken just after arrival at the Aviodrome, you can still see the hand written notes on the control column used for the last leg. |

VH-NLS (cn 10105) The first production-built F-27 arrives back home in The Netherlands after 46 years of (almost) continuous flying abroad. The uncomplicated ferry from Australia took 50 hours over several days. This workhorse is another great addition to the collection of Aviodrome Theme Park. What's more: this classic bird is due to display at airshows and will do joyflights with passengers. |

VH-NLS (cn 10105) An historic return is in its final stage. VH-NLS was the first F27 to fly on pax service. Now is returning to Netherlands from Australia and will find its place in Dutch avionic history. Corfu is one of the last stops. Good bye mate. |
