Dus ik voor mijn werk naar de Rips.
De Rips is een gigantische stad in het zuiden van Nederland.
Een knooppunt van de wereld.
Wat gegevens:

Runway 08/26 - 1400x75m - grass/SMT (estimated)
Airfield Rips (Dutch: vliegveld (De) Rips, also known as ALG B-84 Rips) was an airfield in Noord-Brabant, the Netherlands.
It was constructed in June 1944 by order of the German occupation forces as a dispersal site for Volkel air Base. By the end of the month 500 people were working on its construction, sometimes brought in by bus from as far away as Amsterdam. Trees had to be felled, drainage ditches needed to be filled and fields had to be levelled. The fields were then covered with grass and heath from nearby fields. The filling of the drainage ditches caused widespread disturbance of the local water management. As a result, the airfield proved to be of very limited use during periods of heavy rainfall.
On 3 july 1944, a German soldier, possibly irritated by small fights amongst the forced laborers, took his rifle and bajonet and stabbed Helmonder Lucas van Rooij. Lucas was brought to hospital in Helmond, where he died from his injuries later that evening.
Dus op weg:
Dit is dan wel een foto van Texel, die heeft er niks mee te maken, maar ik kon geen foto's vinden van De Rips in Duits gebruik:
Slopel Astra op weg naar De RIPS:
Kansloze vastgelopen DUITSE kubelwagen:
Lalalala, dit was het veld:
Erna heeft het 600 vluchten gedient in 4 dagen in October 1944:
En dit is echt vet een oude CRX:
