See-through panels are corten steel frames with a transparent plate. On that plate, a drawing visualises an object/activity that is not (or no longer) visible in the landscape. Through the correct perspective of the drawing and the correct positioning of the frame, the drawing is as it were projected into the current landscape. In this way, a special event or a former structure that stood at a specific location can come back to life for a while. Via the vista panels, we make the special history and unique story of Northeast Polder more visible.

During World War II, several planes crashed in the Northeast Polder. The sites of these aeroplane wrecks can be recognised in the landscape by special markers and information boards. You can see the Aircraft Wreck Look-through Panel as a tribute to all the aircrew of Allied flights who lost their lives here or had to hide from the Germans.
The See-through Panel Airplane Wreck stands on the Dinah Mightpad, a footpath accessible via Vliegtuigweg in Nagele. It shows a plane that has just crashed, lying with a broken nose and broken propellers on the recently reclaimed land. Two crew members stand on the battered wing.
