Cheers

Close but no banana.
Hey if you need anything translated or sorted out for your research let me know.

Erm..
Fokker S-15?
Damn.

I’m researcing the Fokker S-14 at the moment. Should have had a stab in the dark!
🙂 🙂
Yes you should have!!!

Great minds think alike, Steve.
I started with the Bolo and was quite taken aback when I found it was nothing like it!

Same here, I was thinking B18 Bolo. Way wide of the mark then… :rolleyes:

I was a mile out. I thought the fin/rudder shape looked a bit DC3-ish so I was looking for something by Douglas.

Looks like the result of a B17 mating with a B25 , not a bad looking mongrel though !!!!!

Am I the only one that thinks it is saying “When I grow up I want to be a Lockheed Neptune . . .”

JDK was correct too, if only he could have given the complete designation.
Indeed it’s the Fokker S-13. Only one was built and the aircraft was flown in airforce colours although they never owned it (if my memory is correct). It served various purposes throughout its life but was ultimately scrapped. Sections of it remain though, most notably the cockpit section which is at a museum on Texel (NL).

Sorry, Robbo, I’d better get back to my day job! I’ll try to resist the temptation of the next quiz – perhaps put up a fiendish one of my own!

I have it as a Fokker S.13 crew trainer, first flight at Schiphol on March 13, 1950. Only one was built, used during February 1953 to photograph the floods that inundated most of Holland.
By: JDK - 25th May 2004 at 09:52
It’s Dutch.
I think it’s a Fokker 50s crew trainer…

Hey, anybody can Google for markings, but we are talking about real recognition skills here! :rolleyes:
