My F15A reached another milestone: 75 years young!

Well done, Hanno. When you told me about the anniversary a few weeks ago, I thought a trip to the location of the old Amsterdam Ford factory would be nice idea....but than again, most if not all buildings have been taken down and the roads in and around Amsterdam can be very hectic for an old CMP.

I have been to the former Den Hartogh Ford museum several times and asked the volunteers a number of times why there was no word about Ford production in WW2. Sadly, they weren't able to give a clear answer. On the other hand, most of the museum focussed on pre-war Fords, with only a small section covering late 40's Fords and another section covering trucks. No Cortina's.....no Mustangs, no transit vans. But, a very interesting and big collection nonetheless......and a big shame the museum closed down.
