I take no views on the local ladies........................
From that Dutch site about Jefman:
The Marine Bofors Gunner was One of the last Dutch to leave in 1962.
In that time Marine Base was quite established with even beer and ice from the fridge.
He went back in 1998 on a reunion trip.
Basically everything that could not be unbolted was still there but not painted or cared for since.
He states that the hangar had collapsed in 2001.
