Fokker F.II replica

In 1994, the Aviodrome took the initiave for this replica of the Fokker F.II. Around 1996, the fuselage was ready and given the H-NABC markings. The replica includes an original Mercedes engine, the same type the original HNABC had in 1920. The fuselage was built and financed by Fokker (personnel) and one could perhaps argue whether that makes this a replica or original Fokker F.II. The last known F.II c/n was 1596 and there is no information about c/n 1597. So this aircraft got c/n 1598.

The F.II first flew in October 1919 and was the first of a long series of commercial aircraft from the Fokker Aircraft Company and was the first Dutch type operated by the fledgling KLM. This exact replica is on display inside the Aviodrome museum at Lelystad.

The F.II was Fokker's first airliner, still designed at the German factory in 1919. The cabin seated four passengers; another person could sit next to the pilot in his open cockpit.
