77 years ago
Yesterday 77 years ago, RNN pilots Johannes Blok and Simon de Ridder lost their lives when their Grumman Hellcat fighters collided during formation flying practice:

Johannes Blok lies buried in a family grave at the Oosterbegraafplaats in Amsterdam. Simon de Ridder is buried at the national field of honour in Loenen. We will remember them.
