The aircraft was registered to KLM late April 1935 but was involved in an accident at Schiphol on Juli 14, 1935. The aircraft took off from Schiphol, bound for Malmö Sweden (with stops in Hamburg and Copenhagen). When engines 1 and 2 began losing power, the pilot was forced to return to Schiphol .The aircraft struck the slope of the number 4 highway and crashed. A fire erupted afterwards.

Scaled down from the big F.XXXVI (F.36), the 22-passenger F.XXII was the last airliner produced by the Fokker company before WWII. It was still of mixed construction with fixed landing gear and only four examples were built. Roerdomp (bittern) became G-AFXR and HM159 as a navigation trainer in the RAF. By 1943 it was used in a transport capacity by No 1680 Flight. It crashed into Loch Tarbert on 3 July 1943, killing all 20 people on board. Photo from: Amsterdam City Archives
