(Wilko)
† April 30, 2018

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.

History

In 1913 the German Navy was looking for a seaworthy seaplane and demanded several manufacturers to develop such an aircraft.

The required seaworthiness implied a structurally strong aircraft, while at the same time wish for a good performance required a rather light plane. Flugzeugbau Friedrichshafen GmbH (FF) developed the Friedrichshafen FF 19, which fulfilled the wishes of the German navy.
