EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1947, the Parmentier Air Scout Troop of the Netherlands is seen standing at attention at Schiphol Airport, eagerly awaiting inspection from their esteemed leader, Commander K D Parmentier, the Chief of the KLM Flying Service and honorary captain of their troop. The young scouts, dressed in their full uniforms, display a sense of excitement and anticipation as they prepare for a unique opportunity – a round trip of the Netherlands aboard a KLM aeroplane. Commander Parmentier, a man of authority and experience, inspects the scouts with a watchful eye, ensuring they are ready for the adventure that lies ahead. The KLM aeroplane, a symbol of Dutch aviation, is shown in the background, its propeller spinning steadily as it prepares for takeoff. The scouts, with their hands behind their backs and eyes fixed on their leader, exude a sense of pride and determination. This photograph captures a moment in time, transporting us back to the 1940s and the post-war era. It is a testament to the spirit of adventure and the importance of scouting in the lives of young boys in the Netherlands during this period. The image is a fascinating glimpse into history, offering a glimpse into the past and the unique experiences that shaped the lives of these young scouts. The Parmentier Air Scout Troop's day at Schiphol Airport was a special treat, a chance to explore the world from a new perspective and learn the ins and outs of aviation. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring power of adventure and the impact it can have on the lives of young people.
