One of four KLM Fokker F.XIIs sold to Crilly Airways, probably seen before delivery. Leo Crilly had big ambitions for his small company from Leicester, moving to Croydon as you can see. A service to Lisbon reportedly started on 1 February 1936, but soon newly formed British Airways was using the F.XIIs on its Paris route from the new Gatwick airport. By July they had been sold to the Spanish Nationalists. Two crashed on the way to Spain but this airframe did serve in the Civil War. Also note the Lufthansa Junkers F24, D-UMUR. The former G24 trimotor has been converted to a single-engined aircraft and named Österreich (Austria), an entity that ceased to exist two years later. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

KLM sold four F.XIIs to Crilly Airways for its new London - Lisbon route, but they were soon being used by the British Airways company on its Paris service and then sold to the Spanish Nationalists in a shady deal. Two crashed on the way to Spain, G-ADZI at Biarritz on 15 August 1936 and G-ADZK one day later at La Rochelle. Photo from: Dan Shumaker collection

Not one of Van de Poll's best photos, but it shows Hedon airfield which was a stop on the KLM route to Liverpool in 1934-1935. It then fell into disuse. Military use was avoided because of its proximity to the petrochemical industry at Salt End; is that what we see on the far left? Photo by: Willem van de Poll / Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

Beautiful night shot by professional photographer Van de Poll. Havik (Hawk) served KLM from 1932 until 1936. To British Airways on 31 October 1936 as G-AEOT but already lost three weeks later. Photo by: Willem van de Poll / Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

KLM opened its scheduled intercontinental service to the Dutch East Indies in 1930 on a fortnightly basis with the Fokker F.VIIb/3m. From 1 October 1931 it was flown weekly in both directions by the new Fokker F.XII, which carried four to six passengers on the 15,000-km route in addition to the mail.

The comfy chairs, courtesy suitcases and catering provisions are also on display outside for the media, including the Polygoon cinema newsreel. Photo from: Amsterdam City Archives

The prototype of the F.XII, an enlarged development of the F.VII/3m. About a dozen F.XIIs were built, including ten for KLM and KNILM. PH-AFL was named Leeuwerik (lark) by KLM. Photo from: ETH-Bibliothek Zürich
