In Memoriam

Klaas Willem Jonker
(Wilko)
† April 30, 2018

On Monday 30 April 2018, Wilko Jonker died after a long illness at the age of 58. He leaves behind a wife and two children. The Dutch military aviation and plastic modeling were his hobby and on this website he shared all the knowledge he has collected over the years. His hobby has been able to distract him from the persistent disease in his body until the last week of his life. The contacts with other hobbyists were a major support for him.

This website will be maintained by different people for as long as possible, so that other enthusiasts can continue to benefit from extensive content.

Fairey IIID

In 1925 four aircraft of this type were bought and transferred to Naval Air station De Mok.

In 1926 they were moved to the Netherlands East Indies to be stationed on board of cruisers.

The Fairey IIID was built out of wood and linen and this construction proofed to be rather vulnerable under tropical conditions, so soon  the aircraft were withdrawn from use.
