Amazing picture of two Swedish Junkers seaplanes demonstrating in Amsterdam. S-505 (a temporary civil registration) was the German-built prototype of the K30 military version - sometimes called R42 in Sweden - of the G24 airliner. S-AABB was an R53 or K53, a Junkers A35 assembled by Junkers subsidiary AB Flygindustri. S-AABB would crash into the seaplane station due to wing failure, damaging the Dutch navy's Van Berkel W-A W54 which is also seen here. The photo gives a good idea of the location of the station on the east side of Amsterdam, actually opposite Schellingwoude village. The church of Durgerdam can be seen.
