Photo Comment
The date and details of this demonstration visit to Schiphol are easily found in the superb Dutch newspaper archive, Delpher. The superficial resemblance of the S.84 to the Douglas airliners was noted by the press but, with KLM having received its first DC-3 a few weeks earlier, its interest in this mixed-construction type was politely described as 'still loose of any perspective'. The aircraft was painted cream and blue. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands) This photo was added on 22 December 2020, and has since been viewed 841 times.
