I can confirm that this matches the details of what was in the service.
Apparently there was a switching error in Bush House in London at some point
during the broadcast. (The transmission was arranged by Merlin
Communications, whose main switching centre is at Bush). Officially it was
the Dutch service, but apparently a bit of English and Indonesian was also
transmitted. I don't have the details of the exact times. Just to add to the
confusion, both English and Spanish was also used in the service as well as
Dutch. It was a bit like a revival of Happy Station :-)
