Schiphol's spotting corner. The presence of a Bloch MB.220, the second aircraft in the second row, dates the photo in March 1938 at the earliest. PH-AKT Toekan, registered in May 1935, was captured by the German invaders in May 1940. Luftwaffe service as NA-LA seems to have been very brief as it was apparently D-AIAV of Lufthansa when it crashed on 9 August 1940 at Lämershagen near Bielefeld due to pilot error. Two passengers died. Photo from: Amsterdam City Archives This photo was added on 22 December 2024, and has since been viewed 134 times. |
