The E3 were a sight to behold with the looking glass radar dome.
I flew the TCA (normal freighter) from the German base to Maastricht where she was to be disassembled in 2011.
All markings had to be blacked out but I devised a cunning plan with my buddy who was doing the chopping to save one piece for me.
The piece I saved (below 3 photos) was the flag of Luxembourg City (my home of 25 years) which was under the wing so from a distance looking at the aircraft all other markings were painted out except my underwing piece. I think I did it proud giving it a new life.
