What flies over Luchthaven Ypenburg?

Hi all,

among others, I mean to know also a lot of aircraft types of Dutch origin. But I have no idea what is this high-winged one with the vertical struts between wing and wheels. If you do know it, please tell me.
The location is told being Luchthaven Ypenburg, the aircraft wears a PH registration, but I cannot read any more. Also note the Ercoupe an the ground.

Thank you for every answer!

Regards, RT

It’s indeed one of eight radial-engine Koolhoven FK43s produced by Fokker post-war, owned by Frits Diepen. Photo circa 1950/1951. The Ercoupe is PH-NCF, now flying in Ireland. Another FK43 to the right, too. One of the eight still exists, in storage for some time now.

Thank you Rob. There is a Koolhoven FK 43 with radial engine, that matches.

The Koolhoven FK43 had that sort of layout, a handful were built in the late 40’s.
