The photos in this RNI album have been collected through the past four decades. Of course they were all taken during the period 1970 up till 1978. The last one on the pages is the Mebo II in an unknown harbour of Malta. Next to my own photographs there are a lot of people who shared their photos with me through the past 40 years and therfore I would like to mention and thank the following persons for making my collection of RNI photos so wonderful.

Ate Harsta
Buster Pearson
Carl Mitchell
Jacob van Kokswijk
Jelle Boonstra
Karel Gerbers
Leen van Oeveren
MEBO Ltd
Paul Jan de Haan
Rob Olthof
Rudi Kagon
Theo Dencker
and those people who I probably forgot. If you want to publish any of the photograps in a magazine or on the Internet please ask for permission at

Of course I'd like to thank Martin van der Ven for doing a master work by scanning all those photographs from my two RNI Albums and putting those scans in this wonderful way online. Do enjoy a trip through RNI Nostalgia.
