Hawker Seafury MLD The AeroBats



In 1953 the display team The Aerobats of squadron 860, appeared rather unexpectedly at a NATO air show, held at Air base Soesterberg in June 1953.
The leader of the team was squadron leader LtZV1 R. J. Idzerda.
In August 1953 the team occupied the national Formation and Stunt competition of the KNVvL (Koninklijke Nederlandse Vereniging voor de Luchtvaart = Royal Netherlands Association for Aviation), where it was able to obtain the second prize.
The team consisted of four aircraft plus one spare. The aircraft had the standard paint scheme applied to the Seafury at that time. The spinner and cowling was sprayed in the orange colour of squadron 860. On the cowling "860" was applied in black stencil lettering.
