KLM's Uiver took second place in the London to Melbourne Air Race, despite an emergency landing on the racecourse in Albury. This photo was almost certainly taken in Rome on the first day of the race. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

KLM's London to Melbourne Air Race adventure might very well have ended in disaster when Uiver got caught in a thunderstorm at night. Thanks to the townsfolk of Albury, the DC-2 was able to land safely, and here Captain Parmentier is seen taking off from the racecourse, leaving the rest of the crew and the payload behind. This was probably against the race rules but no one seems to have protested. Photo from: State Library Victoria

An iconic photo showing the citizens of Albury towing Uiver out of the mud, allowing the KLM DC-2 to take off and finish in second place in the London to Melbourne Air Race. Pilots Parmentier and Moll had managed a hairy emergency landing on the local racecourse, lit by the headlights of private car owners, during the night. Photo from: Tropenmuseum

This is the genuine PH-AJU Uiver. After winning the handicap section of the Mildenhall to Melbourne air race, the aircraft made several goodwill flights before departing back to Batavia (Jakarta). In 1934, Cootamundra was a hub for air mail services from Europe, which is why it was one of the towns to receive a visit. PH-AJU crashed in poor weather near Rutbah Wells, Iraq, on December 20, 1934.

Fleet review for the 15th anniversary of KLM. Behind the F.IX are Koolhoven FK.40 PH-AES, Fokker F.VIIb/3m PH-AFS, Carley Jumbo PH-AFI, Fokker F.VII PH-ACJ, F.VIIa PH-ADZ and F.II PH-RSL of the Dutch CAA - all older aircraft but modern types were also on show. OO-NAD is a DH.85 Leopard Moth. Operational behind the barrier are two foreign Ju 52s, F.XVIII PH-AIQ, FK.43 PH-AJL, F.VIIa PH-ADN, which was likely doing sightseeing flights, and some military Fokker biplanes farther behind.

The largest Fokker aircraft ever in terms of wing area, the F.XXXVI (F.36) could accomodate four crew and 32 passengers, or 16 with pairs of seats converted to couches. Still of mixed construction with man-sized non-retractable mainwheels, it was not ordered in quantity by KLM president Albert Plesman who turned to the Douglas DC-2 for the Holland - Java route. The sole F.36, named Arend (eagle) was used on KLM's European network. Sold to Scottish Aviation in 1939 as G-AFZR, it crashed at Prestwick on 21 May 1940.

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.

Schiphol in 1935, view towards the north. The airfield is becoming a tourist attraction. An old KLM Fokker .VIIa is presumably in use for sightseeing flights. Beyond the terrace is a D.XVI fighter. The DC-2 is named Koetilang, Malay for bulbul bird, reflecting the importance of the East Indies to KLM and to Dutch society in general. This DC-2 was destroyed by bombing here on 10 May 1940.

Schiphol in 1935, view towards the north. The airfield is becoming a tourist attraction. An old KLM Fokker .VIIa is presumably in use for sightseeing flights. Beyond the terrace is a D.XVI fighter. The DC-2 is named Koetilang, Malay for bulbul bird, reflecting the importance of the East Indies to KLM and to Dutch society in general. This DC-2 was destroyed by bombing here on 10 May 1940.

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

Now that's a nice welcome commitee. Built by NV Ned. Vliegtuigenfabriek (as c/n 25) and registered to KLM Nederlands and Colonies on May 7, 1935. In the early morning of October 28, 1938, the aircraft was operating a postal flight from Cologne and landed hard in fog. Afterwards, the fuselage was put on display at Schiphol for months. Although a different source mention that the aircraft was repaired after all. On December 3, 1938 the registration was cancelled. On May 16, 1940 it was requisitioned for Lufthansa and it became NA+LF and D-ABOW. Written off in Berlin on February 11, 1944.

Coming in from Baghdad, the DC-2 encountered a severe thunderstorm and it was impossible to locate Dekelia - Tatoi airport in Athens. The experienced captain, Jan Moll, decided that an emergency landing in a field near the beach in Voula was the safest option, and although the aircraft sustained serious damage, no one was hurt. Note that the location is very close to Ellinikon (LGAT), but that airport did not exist in 1937. The DC-2 was shipped to Holland and repairs were completed in December 1937.
