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.

During 1918 this aircraft was interned.
Clearly visible is the German hexagonal camouflage pattern on the upper side of the wing.
The floats and styles are black, the fuselage is of a rather light, possibly grey, colour. About operational use in Dutch service nothing is known, probably it has never been used. Also the date of internment and the German serial is not known.

It has stood at the cradle of the later Van Berkel WB, though this aircraft was quite changed compared to the original Hansa-Brandenburg W.29
