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.

The Piper Super Cubs entered service during the fifties and replaced the Auster Mk. III, which was used for Army Observation and Liaison tasks.
The Pipers entered service with Squadron 298, 299 and 300 of Groep Lichte vliegtuigen (GPLV = Group Light Aircraft of the Duthc Army).

Also the type was used to train pilots for their 'Klein Militair Brevet' (elementary training). The training aircraft had an orange day-glo engine nacelle.
Further the Pipers were use by  so called "maandvliegers" (monthly pilots), mainly staff officers who wanted to maintain their flying skills.
