I'd say the most common is the HO-17, and those are kinda rare.

Corne,

I am sure you have seen the one at Overloon. This is for others who have not.

A Museum not to be missed!

Well I also thought they where rare, but overhere I already got some
offers. One is even fairly complete with the radios.

The others not, but the sheetmetal needs a lot of attention on most
of the shelters.

Yes Ive seen it in OVerloon, your pictures are much better than mine :wink:
