Any idea what the colours are going to be as your photo shows a Super Connie and I doubt that those colours were ever worn by the Connie.
The Aviation megastore at Schiphol has some old Cockpit booklets by Hugo Hooftman.
Further to my earlier response;
Peter Marson's book The Lockheed Twins lists these aircraft as follows:
T-1, c/n 1304, AX-236
T-2, c/n 1306, BX-238
T-3, c/n 1313, CX-245
T-4, c/n 1314,...
Interesting - I can accept the principle of two aircraft to separate the future queens.

There is a photo of H-NACB in De Nederlandse Vliegtuigen door Theo Wesselink en Thijs Postma (p.35), uitgegeven in 1982.
Related to this (well, sort of....) is the Vliegtuigbouw Teuge's Sagitta glider of the 1960s. I have enclosed a pdf version of an article that I 'pirated' from somewhere a long time ago from an...
Hesham - you keep on digging up these interesting bit an pieces - don't stop doing that!.
The article you referred to is extremely complete and I doubt there will be more information around - but...
Thanks for this.
The Secret Projects forum drew attention to three gliders built by Hoekstra designated as H-1, H-2 and H-3.

The MLD ordered 15 aircraft between 1935 and 1938 of which all, except W-3 and W-9, saw service in The Netherlands as well as the NEI. W-3 and W-9 served in The Netherlands only and were destroyed on...
Allow me to add my information to that provided by Yudi Supri:
The first batch of 12 Avro 504K trainers for the NEI was ordered in May 1919. The first aircraft flew on 13 August 1919. Subsequent...
The reference is Burnett, I., SE Asia Civil Aircraft Registers, Tonbridge, 1979. In addition I have seen comments by the ate Paul Valk, who flew the aircraft occasionally, provided to me through his...

Here is the information I have on my files:
The Morane Saulnier MoS.35 was a trainer based on the 1915 design AR.1.
In 1924 a Morane Saulnier was tested by the ML-KNIL as a potential training...

Brilliant spotting....
You may be right, but what makes you think it is a Hudson. Perhaps what looks like a turret indent in the rear of the fuselage? If this it right this could (repeat: "could") be the RAAF Hudson...
The Lodestar is most likely LT9-18, crashed on 3 March 1942.
Have you got any idea when these photos were made?
With respect to the C-47 at Taman Mini Indonesia in Jakarta, we got to remember that over the years there have been a number of DC-3/C-47s with the registration RI-001 in Indonesia, either in a...
