Photo Comment
This early F.VII was displayed by Anthony Fokker at Croydon in 1925. It then had a Napier Lion engine. Bought by KLM it received a Bristol Jupiter and here it has an unusual tailfin shape. Also the rudder appears to be red, white and blue. Sister aircraft H-NACJ is known to have had this too in 1926, but the Dutch army disapproved of this for civil aircraft. The provisional Bessonneau hangar was replaced by a permanent Hangar B after a whirlwind destroyed it in 1928.
