About This File
FSX RN Marines Bell UH-1C late 1970's. This livery represents a fictional "what if" repaint set of the payware Nemeth Design Bell UH-1C in Royal Netherlands Navy (Marines) liveries. In the 1960's the Royal Netherlands Navy purchased a number of Agusta licence built Bell-204 (UH-1B) helicopters for SAR, ASW and light utility tasks. This set of repaints resembles a "what if" Dutch version of the Bell UH-1C. What if the RNLN purchased a line of Bell UH-1C's beside the fleet's "Bravo's" in order to support the Dutch Royal Marines. With this line of helicopters maintained in service at other Marines/occupied locations in that timeframe they would have been seen at NAS Valkenburg and NAS De Kooy in the mid and late 1970's. These liveries have nose art (Marines deployment to the Korean conflict in the 1950's), pointing back to the rich history of one of the oldest marine corps units in the world (since 1665).
