A very pretty Pander E, thought to be new here in the summer of 1930. It was purchased by Mr In 't Veen who applied the name Vlinder (butterfly) at least on the right hand side. The Dutch flag in a circle shape on the rudder is uncommon. The aircraft was sold to the Nationale Luchtvaart School (NLS) in 1932 and destroyed by German bombs here at Waalhaven in May 1940.

Return of Co van Tijen after his flight to the Netherlands East Indies in this light aircraft in late 1930. Actually, the plane had been shipped back to Holland and Van Tijen was picked up with it in Cologne by his flying instructor, Willem van Graft. A grand welcoming cermony had been organised by stakeholders including Pander, the NLS flying school, and Van Tijen's employer, Van Houten's chocolate factory which sent 200 girls to form the letters 'VH' on the platform.
