PH80MAN GALLERY – Team The Netherlands


Welcome to the gallery of Team The Netherlands.

In due time, this page should fill up with impressions on the commemoration station PH80MAN of Team The Netherlands.

We did a short recce in February 2025.

This central building will host the radio shack, and the eating/sleeping facility during the event.

In the far corner, a support-mast will hold the 40-meter-long HyEndFed antenna for worldwide communications.

On the field, in front of this huge stage, some 80 years ago the food droppings were executed.

In the picture on the right, a Lancaster flies over Duidigt, dropping food packages for the people in The Hague.

The forest around the horse race track was cut by locals during the extremely cold winter months of 1944/1945.

The effect of these droppings on the Dutch people, receiving the packages from the sky, is told in some interviews with Dutch people who lived in the area and still remember these droppings.

Please, have a look here for these interviews.
