OK, Arthur,
Here’s a quiz for those who like their a/c w’out props.
It should be easy.
What,
where,
and have you found any other info on it(because I’m looking for more gen…)

Hmmm.
Points to Arthur (for being helpful too!)
And to Flood for methodical stabbing…
And to Ant for being luckilly overprecise (though I’d not heard the Hangar being named as such when I was there)
And to Cestrian for spotting the link…
Everyone’s a winner!
Cheers

“‘Vreeburghal’ is the name of the hangar (= hal, as in ‘hall’) in which it’s preserved. Named after engineer Vreeburg “
Aha! Thanks Arthur,it’s a good thing your English is better than my Dutch. 😀

It’s not the prototype which now is at the Aviodrome, as that has a red/silver paintjob. Dayglo and black anti-glare was on the operational aircraft, so L-11 at the Militair Luchtvaart Museum at Kamp Zeist/Soesterberg. ‘Vreeburghal’ is the name of the hangar (= hal, as in ‘hall’) in which it’s preserved. Named after engineer Vreeburg 😉

I am ham-strung by not having up to date (or even in the last decade!) reference books on preserved aircraft in Europe…
Is it, maybe, L-17 which was in store at Gilze-Rijen, or L-11 which was at the Militaire Luchtvaart Museum at Soesterberg? (Stab, stab…)

I think I spy it in the background of your Do24 photo at Soesterberg??

Where?

I’ll go along with Flood’s idea of it being an S14,so perhaps it’s the example on display at the Militaire Luchtvart Museum at Vreeburghal?

Good man!
50%. Try again…

Stabbing in the dark, but probably only from the colour scheme and the front intake, side-by-side seating, etc…
Is it the Fokker S14 prototype K-1, PH-XIV? It was at Amsterdam/Schiphol.
