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.

NATO -TIGERS

Within the Royal Netherlands Air Force there is one so-called 'Tiger"-squadron, no 313 squadron.

Intially the main task of this squadron was advanced training. The squadron marking was a bird of prey flying over an airstrip. When the Northop NF-5 was withdrawn from use in 1988 and 313 squadron received the General-Dynamics F-16, the task also changed and the squadron wanted to changed their squadron marking. In 1990 it was decided to choose the tiger.

Since that time 313 squadron RNlAF is a member of the NATO Tiger.
