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.

During World War II, several aircraft crashed in the Noordoostpolder. The sites of these plane wrecks can be recognised in the landscape by special marker poles and information boards. You can see the Aircraft Wreck Look-through Panel as a tribute to all Allied aircrew who lost their lives here or had to hide from the Germans.
The See-through Panel Airplane Wreck stands on the Dinah Mightpad, a walking path 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.
