Hi Chris,
Soesterberg is close to where I live, you probably visited the new
Military Aviation Museum?
Actually the airfield is partly located on grounds of my homeown, Zeist.
I visited it last year, it's a nice black box: <

On google maps (the museum is too new to be on the pictures here): <

Next time if you find the time give me notice and we might be able to meet
(I still owe you a beer ;-).
Best, Frank.
