Yes, the Rijksluchtvaartschool did indeed use JU52/3m aircraft for almost 5 years.
From the book “The Junkers Ju 52 Story” by Jan Forsgren

“Opa” = Granddad
“Oma” = Grandma
“Ome Keesje” = Uncle Casey
In 1967 I’ve made four flights with KLM in a Lockheed L-188C Electra, of which two in the magnificent roomy cockpit. Fantastic and beautiful aircraft!
Pilatus PC-6 Porter c/n 518 which flew with KLM Aerocarto from 1961-1972. Still flying in France as F-GMVS; 4th oldest flying PC-6.

Incidentally, also managed to get a flight with South Coast Airlines, from Bournemouth, in their DC3 before their operations ceased
Slightly off-topic, a few pictures of South Coast Airways DC-3 G-DAKK when it was at the Aviodrome in Lelystad NL.
Actions are underway by Classic Wings at Teuge Airport in the Netherlands to try to get it back into airworthy condition again.
