The Rijksluchtvaartschool(Dutch Government Flight Training School)was founded on Januari 1st 1946 on Gilze
Rijen Airforce Base for training pilots for civil aviation. In the same year began the training of airforce pilots on
Gilze Rijen as well and the base became too busy. Therefore the RLS was diverted to Eelde Airport(Groningen).
The RLS started with ex RAF Tiger Moths, Harvards and Beechcrafts D-18S. Soon the Tiger Moths and Harvard
were replaced by SAAB Safirs. In respect with the introduction of jet airliners in the 60's the Dutch Government
ordered in 1962 seven Morane Saulniers MS760B for jettraining.
The PH-UDU was from October 1949 till October 1973 in service with the RLS, which have had during that
period in total 15 DS18S's in its fleet. The last 4 Beechcrafts D18's were sold to Agrarflug GmbH, Worms(Germ).
The PH-UDU was re-registered N9473 and departed to Worms in Germany to be resold to the USA.
The remaining 3 were parked at Groningen-Eelde awaiting resale. The resale failed and the aircraft were used
for spareparts.The remains were scraped in 1993.
