Props turning... by night

Tue Oct 24, 2006 6:41 am

Hello
the Aviodrome (Lelystad,Holland) had a nice thing going last weekend; they had engines running of the Catalina, DC-3, Fokker F.27 and the Lockheed Constellation.
After years of troubles with no.3 engine, the matter for the Dutch Connie has now been resolved as can be seen in my report:
