Delivered to Eastern Air Lines as NC13738 in 1934. Joined the RAAF in 1941 as A30-14, and withdrawn from use in Jan 1947 and stored. Forty years later, in Feb 1987, it was bought by the Dutch Dakota Association. Still carrying faded RAAF markings the DC-2 was transported to the Netherlands, for intended restoration as the famous PH-AJU "Uiver". This project never got off the ground and it remained in storage at various locations in the Netherlands until delivered to the Nederlands Transport Museum on 31 May 2018. They restored it into these KNILM colours with fake registration PK-AFK. The real PK-AFK was DC-2-115G c/n 1375.

The type is of historic significance for the Netherlands: KLM bought a 'Y' in 1937 as the first aircraft to use nose wheel undercarriage. PH-APY was used to train pilots to fly an aircraft in this, for that period, new configuration

This Harvard is a composite aircraft of the real B-69 and B-199. The museum intends to convert it into a pre-war North American NA-27 trainer. This was the Fokker-built version of the NA-16 fixed u/c trainer.
