Colour shot of Luftwaffe camouflaged hangars in Holland

Good evening to all,

I found on Flickr the following picture:

Even if the plane stowed inside is a B-25, it is nonetheless an interesting camouflage scheme. On which former Luftwaffe base was this very special hangar?

Cheers
Marc

It's not Holland. I am pretty sure it is Melsbroek/Belgium.

Cheers,

John

Thanks Jaap, for confirming the location.

RT; I would think of deception... Quite an achievment in this field!

Cheers

Hello,

Melsbroek airbase was famous for that kind of... art. See some impressive example in the book "Runways to Victory" by Belgian 'Flying' author Peter Celis. Call it what you want!

Best regards
