There is a misdisseption that this is the same maunfacterur as the furniture builder this is not threu. They where however realted.
Pander was a aircraft manufaterur in the 20 and 30’s in Den Haag. There last plane was a competitor in the London-Sydney race where it crasht during take off against a oxcart in the dark.
Back to the Multi-pro, a total of 3 where built, PH-AIU registerd on 29-09-1932 off register 29-03-1939 , PH-AIV registerd 06-02-1933 destroyd 10 may 1940 at Ypenburg, PH-AIX registerd 17-03-1933 destroyd 10 may 1940 at Woensdrecht.
PH-AIU has no listing that it was destroyd ore scrapped so it might well be in sitting in a barn some where in the Netherlands.
The Multi-Pro was a 2 sitter, just like in an Auster you sat side by side. Behind the passengers there was a reletifly large luguage compartment.
Empty weight was 420 kg, max weight was 700kg. Max range was 700 km. Cruising speed was around 160km/u
The fuselage construction was uniek and patented. 2 layers of plywood molded with bakeliet (sorry don’t know the englisch word). It is some sort of early plasticy stuff, very hard.
Sorry for the long reply.
