Zwijgzaam
staat deze Packard tegenover een prachtig ingericht memorial-gebouw.
Frontaal spiegelend in de ruiten van het memorial, als een blijvende
herinnering aan de neergehaalde Italiaanse Hercules tijdens de Balkan
crisis in Bosnie.
Dit tragische ongeval leidde tot nieuwe inzichten hoe in dit soort
situaties te handelen.
A permanent place for this packard in front of a memorial building, as a reminder of the shot-down hercules during the Balkan crisis in Bosnia. |
