The aircraft was used as demonstrator for some time. A few countries were interested in using the G.I as a dive bomber and '302' was equipped with the necessary modification for testing this. However the dive bomber vertsion never went into production. '302' was destroyed in a bombing on Waalhaven. Of the 22 operational G.I's, only 9 could be immediately be dispatched after the German surprise attack on May 10, 1940. A true scale replica of a Fokker G.I. ('330') is on display at the Militaire Luchtvaart Museum. The real '330' was part of the 3 JaVA at Waalhaven.

I had doubts whether to share this pic as the replica it is supposed to be is more like a prop for a movie with painted flaps and exhaust soot.

The prototype of the Fokker G.I, a two-seat fighter powered by Hispano-Suiza 14 engines and first flown from Eindhoven - Welschap on 16 March 1937. At the insistence of the Dutch army air force the design was completely reworked as a three-seat multirole aircraft. This was rather counter-productive since the resulting G.I/Mercury served as a two-seat fighter. A batch of the smaller variant with R-1535 Twin Wasp Junior engines was ordered by the Spanish Republicans, but eventually taken over by the Dutch government. The G.I/Wasp aircraft were not yet operational on 10 May 1940 and saw little action during the German invasion of Holland. Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum

Undelivered G.I 'fighter cruisers' at Schiphol, now Schiphol East. The Fokker factory was actually in North Amsterdam but aircraft were moved to Schiphol by barge. A KLM DC-3, PH-AST, and an L-14, PH-ASL, are also seen, as well as the Schiphol sightseeing bus behind the DC-3. Photo from: Bodo Sandberg collection
