Hello Brendan,
Thanks for the information. Yes, I recall a message from you some time ago,
detailing the maps and their availability. I shall have a look at that message,
too.
With the sheet names and designations you provided, it shan't be too difficult
to get them.
By the way, on the www.tdl.nl website, a series of sheets at 1:10 000 is also
available. Are they as good as the 1:25 000? Preferrable perhaps, regarding
their accuracy?
You referred to the inaccuracy in this scan I have of the military map. That is
the small Dutch slice southwest of enclave N5 you are referring to, isn't it?
Anyway, thanks again. I'll go back into standby mode. After all, there is a
decent Christmas Quiz to prepare...
Best Wishes Bernhard
