Jack van Egmond's Fokker D.21 - a terrific addition to the warbird scene. Incredibly, it is powered by a factory-fresh Wright R-1820 Cyclone radial which the Dutch MoD still had in its crate somewhere. The original D.21 usually had a Bristol Mercury. One Spanish D.21 flew with a Cyclone or Soviet Shvetsov M-25 variant, however, and the old Cyclone installation design by Fokker helped the certification process for this gorgeous replica.
