The Conservatory Dance Intensive gives high school students (grades 9–12) the opportunity to study with renowned performers and instructors. This 5-day intensive consist of classes in ballet technique, pointe, modern technique, composition and supplemental classes customized for participants like partnering, yoga, nutrition, and choreography. Especially valuable as a “boot camp” in preparation for other summer intensive study, this week is full of insights and rewards that will serve dancers throughout their educational and professional careers.

With many navies developing more and more powerful and capable armored cruisers around the world, the Vinnish navy sought to make sure their next cruiser would be able to compete. At first, the Sumpflands were to have a conventional layout, with just two main gun turrets. Then, that changed to three, then four. The problem with this then was the question, how much value do more guns have when they can't all train on the same target? An ingenious, albeit controversial and mechanically and practically questionable solution was engineered to solve this problem.
The turrets would be able to physically traverse across the deck to the opposite side to attain an optimal firing position. This was achieved via rails laid into grooves across the deck. The turret would unlatch from its barbette, slide across the deck, and anchor itself to a port on the opposite side. After firing, the recoil would assist in throwing the turret back along the track to its barbette, where it would lock back in place to reload and prepare to travel again. Although somewhat simple on paper, in practice this system proved to be complex, maintenance intensive, and vulnerable to catastrophic failure in battle. A well-placed hit could blow a turret right off of its barbette, or jam it into place and prevent it from traversing or traveling. However, despite these complications, the idea was actually implemented on the lead ship of the class. It remains to be seen whether this unique innovation will be of benefit or detriment to the Vinnish navy in combat.
This photograph shows what a full port broadside would look like, with the starboard side turret "slid" into position.

The later PH-PBA participates in D-Day over Normandy on “Mission Boston” (registration 42-100971).
Five hours before the D-Day invasion began, this Dakota dropped paratroopers from the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment over Sainte-Mère-Église in Normandy.
The C-47 featured invasion stripes on the wings.
September 17, 1944

On September 23, another dropping flight with a glider in tow, this time with 13 paratroopers aboard.

ThePH-PBA therefore has a very important historical value for the Netherlands.

The aircraft will receive the color scheme of Inspector General of the Armed Forces and will be provided with the coat of arms of the Inspector General of the Armed Forces (IGK) which position H.R.H. Prince Bernhard first held. To this day, the IGK coat of arms adorns the PH-PBA, confirming the long and historic relationship.

The PH-PBA has been fully restored and will return to the Netherlands in airworthy condition. She is on loan to the DDA Classic Airlines Foundation.
DDA must watch over the condition of the aircraft like a good family man and keep it in airworthy condition.
The aircraft will be carried out in pre-war KLM colors.
November 13, 2006

Thanks to a great effort by the technicians and excellent cooperation with IL&T, the aircraft is ready in time for a promotional trip to Sweden
For Spendrups Brewery.
During the same period, the E-inspection takes place. This is the most intensive inspection of the aircraft that takes place once every 5 years.
January 2018
The PBA will be carried out in the style in which it has flown for most of its existence i.e. in the colors of the government aircraft with the coat of arms of
The Inspector General of the Armed Forces. The latter gives unconditional consent to the application of the weapon.
This livery does justice to the fact that the PBA belongs to the Dutch Mobile Heritage with a distinctly Dutch appearance.
November 2019 – March 2020
The wings of the PBA are disassembled, inspected and reassembled.
The aircraft is in excellent condition and ready for the 2020 flight program.
April 2020
Because of the Corona crisis, it is decided to put the PBA in storage at the KLuHV at Gilze Rijen.
