Photoflight Soesterberg - RNLAF

In 2013, we started out to share the gems of our air-to-air archives on this page. Within a couple of month this page grew to 4000+ followers from who we received an enormous amount of likes and reactions!

Almost every day, one of the aerial photographs of Photoflight Soesterberg popped up on your timelines until April 2018.
This Facebookpage was left behind as a static archive and leaving you followers hanging. Sorry about that!

Once in a while, questions to please start posting our shots again came in! But due to other projects the time wasn’t right to pick up where we left.

Yesterday was a nice opportunity to start posting again: the KDC-10 flew its farewell tour over The Netherlands, a RNLAF asset that was often the subject of our shots and occasionally was our photo platform in the past.

So what has been occupying us for the last three years? For starters the ongoing research for a book about the history of aerial photographers in the Netherlands Air Force from 1950-2008.

Second, the alliance with the Alouette Museum in Barneveld (https://www.alouettemuseumbarneveld.nl/). At this museum you can learn about the different roles of the Alouette III helicopter in its 51 years of service in the RNLAF. That is for us the perfect place to secure the photo heritage of SAR/Photoflight Soesterberg.

In the near future we will start again posting the gems from our archives but also keep you posted about the publication of the book about AP's in the RNLAF.
