Hi all,

has anyone a more info about the Fokker Ontwerp P.126 ?,I only
know it was a three seat light bomber project .

[Classic]

Driepersoons lichte bommenwerper/verkenner. Dit ontwerp is gemaakt op voorstel van de IML (eveneens vermeld in de brief 29 maart 1935 aan het MvD). Een intern document van Fokker klaagt over het feit dat de LVA in 1929 afzag van de driepersoons verkenner (C.VIII) en er nu toch weer op terug kwam. Verdere documentatie over de aanvraag is niet (meer) aanwezig. De prijs werd geschat op rond f 100.000.

thank you very much.

You are welcome, Hesham!
Frits Gerdessen has been studying LVA history since a long time. As you can see, he drew this drawing back in '82.

You have been posting a lot of interesting questions regarding Fokker projects, is this your main interest?

[hesham]

Yes G-1reaper,

I like little known aircraft or a projects,also I mainly love the
unknown variants of aircraft actually built.
