Hello Graeme, from the other side of the world, nice to hear from you and from a country that was many years ago a overseas part of the Netherlands. Many of my roots lay there in Indië because my grandparents lived there a long time ago (my grandfather was a Dutch military captain in Indonesia). Nederlands Indië was the name of the archipel in these years. De gordel van smaragd (Multatuli).
And in Padang (Sumatra) my father was born. In 1938 my grandparents went back to Nederland, because my grandmother went ill because of the hot and damp Indonesian tropical climate.
In 1931 my grandparents received from the Dutch government an Erres Radio KY107 and they brought the rasdio back to Holland in 1938. A nice detail is that I inherreted that nice radio from my grandparents and this radio is still the number one in my radiocollection. If you apreciate it I can take a fotograph of this radio and post it our forum. Greetings, Hans
