On Dutch Wings data site

[Roadrunner]

Hi all,


Ever since I acquired my first SBS device in 2006 I have used the above site to fill in gaps for units of military aircraft, I also have all their hear books from then until 2015. However, for the last few weeks I have been unable to contact theeir site and all references to this group appears either defunct or non-existant.


Please has anyone any idea what has happened?


Regards Mike

Lots of mySQL errors in Chrome, Firefox and IE when I try to acces that URL.

In theory the contact URl is http://www.ondutchwings.nl/contact.htm but that just gives an error so suspect the site is either gone or having problems so that occasionally it works such as when corsa tried.

Thanks guys. I have tried using Edge, explorer and Chrome all with the same results even this morning. I have cleared my cache and still nothing this morning. I did find a live link to the website of the publishers of their year book, but the links from there to the dutchwings own site is dead there as well...
I do so hope it is a temporary Iif protracted) glitch......

I'm getting errors too.  Looks like a database issue on the hosted server.

Trouble is I cant find any means of contacting them to ask. The so called contact email is dead as well

Ran test this is result

May be problem that service provider has not been paid.

May be problem that service provider has not been paid.

Websites can be down for other reasons, including technical.  Unless there's evidence in support, I'd be wary of suggesting payments are overdue.

I contacted Dirk Jan de Ridder (one of the founders) a few months ago, he told me they stopped updating the database and discontinued the MASR Yearbooks to.

I think that's the mean reason the website is down, they simply stoped.

It's a pity, but it is as it is.

For Dirk Jan's personal site http://www.ridder.aero.

Thanks Antoni,


It is sad if that is the case. I have all their year books from about 2006 to the last one and used the site a lot as well.


However, life goes on and I have now linked to  http://www.scramble.nl/military-database  which appears to provide similar data. and I have some of their books as well.


If any of the ex On-Dutch wings guys are on this forum then thanks for all your help over the years.

Thanks Truetrack,


I have been feeding Mil Mode-S almost as long as I have had an SB-1/Ie and now SBS-3 and it and Dutch Wings complemented each other
