Latest development:
Wim's telephone number and address had vanished from the telephone listings shortly after I contacted him, about 2 years ago.
So that was effectively the end of my investigations...
This week I checked the listings and guess what, he's in it again.
I just put a message on his answering machine, hoping he will contact me.
If so, I'll let y'all know. This time wrote down his number....
Can I have a list of questions that are stil unsolved?
Or a preliminary of the article, so I can run it through with him?

The Plano is the all yellow model in the lower right hand corner.

I'm seeing more familiar faces here.
Top is Paul Tupker with his Fox .35 Thunderbird Mk 2., to his right Henk Twerda with his Olympus, in front of Paul, I guess must be Jan Rozema with another red Olympus, a guy who flew a few years, but he had gone by the time I started in F2B.
Top right are the Metkemeijer brothers. In front of Rob is Eep Buys, who was flying teamrace with Rob Goudsmit, who stands between Paul and the two red Olympae, I believe.
Top left is Cor Harskamp, flying teamrace with Wim Cator at that time.
Up front Louis with his non jet line Olympus (nr. 4?) and bottom right Wim with the Plano.
The rest I recognize, but I can't put any names to them.....
Here's two more pictures, one being a magnified version of the group portrait, in which a young Wim is clearly holding the Plano.
The other is a low quality picture of the model on the tarmac during that afternoon.
To me it has the looks of an enlarged Aldrich Nobler, but I'm hell bent to find out if it is.
