Doewe Pelleboer is Aircraft Source's
Paris Jet Historian. Doewe lives and works in the
small city of Eelde, about 10 km south of the city
of Groningen in the north-east Netherlands. He
has served as a police officer for thirty-two years
and twenty of those as a Detective for the Dutch
police. When he is not fighting crime, Doewe enjoys
keeping track of the large fleet of aircraft that
were used in training at Groningen-Eelde Airport
(airport-code EHGG) the home base of the KLM Flight
Academy. From 1946 until 1991 this academy was
the Dutch Government Flight Training School and
in 1991 was privatized and became KLM Flight Academy.
In 1976 Doewe began to keep track of the various
types, histories, and location of the some 150
different aircraft that flew over his home as a
child. His goal was:
- to investigate and archive individual aircraft
story;
- to collect photographs of each aircraft including
change of colour-scheme and registration-markings;
- to keep in contact with owners of each aircraft.
In 1991, Doewe had such demand from around the
world that he published a book regarding the KLM
and its aircraft. He also maintains a website: http://members.home.nl/doewe.pel/ and
continues to track various aircraft and their movements
around the world.
If
you need to know anything about the history of
Paris Jets, or their use in the KLM, Doewe would
love to hear from you at doewe.pel@home.nl He
is still seeking a number of photos of various
types and if you check out his web page under “request” you
can see if you know the whereabouts of any of his
target aircraft.
