Dook thanks!

What Schiphol has grown!
These hangars were on what now is the far North East corner of Schiphol.
The U-bend in the Ringvaart is the place where Fort aan de Schiphol has been.
It is now part of the foundation of the A9 highway bridge


I remember as being a kid visiting Schiphol and Aviodrome with my parents somewhere 1980.
Then already there were plans to build a new Airport in the North Sea or in the Markermeer.
Now Schiphol has doubled or tripled in flights. The Dutch have build 2 Maasvlaktes (harbours) into the sea and we have build the new Hongkong and Tokyo airports abroad but we still cannot decide upon a new airport for ourselves.....
