Default RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth

50 year Taurus in the Netherlands.
Terlet Arnhem, Deelen Arnhem.

In the past Airfield Terlet in Arnhem was the place to go . We modelers from the Netherlands did met each other on that central place near Arnhem
We did fly our National finals over there, the Nats of the Netherlands. (Official year modeling did start on Terlet was1964.)
Of course the Taurus was there and we still can see the movies and photographs of this period.

An example, Jan van Vliet, Dutch champion of the Netherlands and also flying one of the three Dutch Taurusses in Genk Belgium 1963.
