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.

A example of this type, with RNAS registration N6164, landed on March 1, 1917 near Cadzand.
It entered service with the LVA registration LA41.
On May 23, 1917 was compared with the Spijker V.1. The result was such that the type was considered to be built under license by Trompenburg, but the director H. Wijnmalen, preferred the Nieuport XI.
In 1918, a new registration system was achieved and the Pup received the new serial S212.
