The photo is thought to show PH-AGR carrying out KLM's very first scheduled fortnightly service on the Amsterdam - Batavia (Jakarta) route - the pilot does look like Evert van Dijk. The aircraft called at Palembang on 3 October 1930 on the way out and returned on 17 October. Certainly it is not yet named Reiger (heron) here. The press reported KLM giving its aircraft names on 26 August 1931. Photo from: Leiden University Libraries This photo was added on 22 March 2021, and has since been viewed 1899 times. |
