Description: this vintage 1944 build Stinson (former airframe of Prins Bernard of the Netherlands) was registered on September 15 1967 to Aeropan Luchtreklame established on August 3 1967 and based at Zwartrberg airfield whereby the airframe was mainly used for towing banners. Here it's seen such in a livery carrying these titles in the tail. On June 7 1975 it had an incident at its home base when a propeller broke-off when towing a glider but landed safely and was repaired afterwards. After been for sale since April 1989 it left Zwartberg airfield for The Netherlands later that year on December 3 being two days later cancelled from the register. It migrated half a year later on April 11 1990 as "PH-PBB" to Stichting Dutch Dakota Association.
