On Monday, April 30, 2018, Wilko Jonker passed away after a long illness at the age of 58. He leaves behind a wife and two children. The Dutch military aviation and plastic model building were his hobby and on this website he has shared all the knowledge he has gathered about it over the many years. His hobby was able to distract him from the raging disease in his body until the last week of his life. The contacts with other hobbyists were a major support for him.
Most Fokkers C.XIw were used in the former Dutch East Indies. Of the aircraft used in the Netherlands just one aircraft managed to escape during May 1940 to England and was later sent to the Dutch East Indies.
