Desgined and built for the Dutch government for pilot training towards the end of WWI. Because of the neutral position during the war, the general public didn't see the aircraft until after the war, at the Eerste Luchtveerkeer Tentoonstelling in August 1919. The aircraft was flown until 1924, when they were replaced by other aircraft, including the Fokker S.3. Spyker ended up building 78 V.2's. This replica features an original Thulin engine from 1919, with which the real C16 was fitted.
