Sunday was a free day, with no
organised events. However there were many events and tours, listed
in the excellent book, forty pages in all, produced by Leo. This was a similar size, as
the old JBA owners club magazine.
Many owners visited Tiel to view the carnival
floats, that were in storage, these were made out of real fruit.
Others decided to take some of the tours.
|
Sunday evening we all met in
the bowling alley at the camp for a drink and a game of
bowls.
This was quite a laugh, I would have done
better, had there been white lines painted down the lanes.
|
|
Monday was also a free day. Some of our party
ventured over the border into Germany.
Others paid a visit to Arnhem
and visited the war graves. |
|
|
A few of us attended Burgers
Zoo.
This is a fascinating place. Split into
various sections, a huge collection of animals from all over
the world.
The Aquarium centre displayed an exciting
range of tropical marine fish in huge tanks. The fishes
swimming all around one and even overhead.

Tuesday was a planned event. We
started off with a visit to a windmill in Veenendaal
called
"De Vriendschap" |
|
|
|
|
We were greeted by the miller
Mr.Van Eden. Our party were split into two groups for our
tour of the windmill. Those that waited were given tea,
coffee and cakes, until the first party returned.
The tour was excellent, as Mr. Van Eden
explained such a lot, how windmills were first made and how
different engineering techniques were introduced to turn the
sails, to make the mills more productive.
In this photo Mr. Van Eden is showing us
how the sails are tied up, to reduce the wind speed.

After the visit we chose one of
the runs listed by Leo. We stopped for lunch on the way. |
|
|
Wednesday was also a planned run, which members
could attend if they wished. Starting off from the camp, our first
stop was at The Weistaar cheese farm and museum. The museum was
beautifully appointed, a real showcase, depicting the Dutch cheese
through the ages. We were treated to coffee and cheese. The farm had
a separate display area, where you could see the milking of the
cows, through glass windows. |

From there we travelled a short
distance to the Dutch Military Aviation Museum.
The museum records the history of the
Dutch Air Force since it began.
We were not allowed to take photos in the
hall.
