Registered to the NLS in Rotterdam/Waalhaven in November 1931, later to the NLS chapters Rijswijk/Ypenburg (date unknown) and Rotterdam/Twenthe (September 1931). The aircraft suffered an accident at Teuge in August 1938. The only damage was a broken propeller but the registration was cancelled in February 1939. Back to PH-AIB with private owners between May 1939 and November 1940. The aircraft was seized by the Germans and in the second half of 1941 the useful parts were harvested and the rest scrapped. The owner received financial compensation based on age and flight hours. For the -AIB, this was 1900 guilders. Photo from Harm Reinders

Return of Co van Tijen after his flight to the Netherlands East Indies in this light aircraft in late 1930. Actually, the plane had been shipped back to Holland and Van Tijen was picked up with it in Cologne by his flying instructor, Willem van Graft. A grand welcoming cermony had been organised by stakeholders including Pander, the NLS flying school, and Van Tijen's employer, Van Houten's chocolate factory which sent 200 girls to form the letters 'VH' on the platform.
