Dutch Modelling and Aviation

In Memoriam

Klaas Willem Jonker
(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.

August 6 and 7, 1918 two Friedrichshafens FF-33J/S made an emergency landing near Ameland and Texel respectively. These two aircraft were interned with serial V-1 and V-2. FF.33 V-1 was shipped to Netherlands East-Indies on July 5, 1918 , where it arrived on November 26, 1918 and made its first flight in February 1919.

September 24, 1917 a Friedrichshafen FF-33L landed near Wielingen. A torpedo-boat of the Dutch Navy dragged it to Veere, where it was repaired and interned with serial V-3.  

The Friedrichshafen FF-33 pleased very well, so (after the war) an order for the delivery of eighteen aircraft was placed. All were delivered between April 14 and Augustus 1919.
