On the 26th of November we celebrated the measurement of the first fringe (08/10/2015) on the sky with the final APERTIF correlator, using 6 WSRT dishes for the moment.

The APERTIF team also took the oppertunity to thank Wim van Cappellen for his role as project manager. His effort and energy, together with the rest of the team, made WSRT/APERTIF into the magnificent instrument it is.
