The prototype of the Fokker G.I, a two-seat fighter powered by Hispano-Suiza 14 engines and first flown from Eindhoven - Welschap on 16 March 1937. At the insistence of the Dutch army air force the design was completely reworked as a three-seat multirole aircraft. This was rather counter-productive since the resulting G.I/Mercury served as a two-seat fighter. A batch of the smaller variant with R-1535 Twin Wasp Junior engines was ordered by the Spanish Republicans, but eventually taken over by the Dutch government. The G.I/Wasp aircraft were not yet operational on 10 May 1940 and saw little action during the German invasion of Holland. Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum

Final fly past before heading to Cornwall-St.Mawgan for scrapping. The aircraft was acquired in 2004 and subject to heavy cockpit modifications. After seven years it became operational in 2011, but was struck of charge after just three years of service.

Final colours of NLM were in KLM blue and white with Cityhopper titles

The EART tankers were used for refueling the Frisian Flag fighter force. In the background the Dutch KDC-10 T-264 takes of before heading for the refueling track over the North Sea.

Colourful departure.

Unfortunately crashed in Algeria less than a month later, on August 30, 2014.
