The Blume 502 was developed from the Blume 500 in the late 1950's by Walter Blume. The aircraft wasn't very succesful and only 2 examples were built. On May 16, 1982, the aircraft was damaged beyond repair in an emergency landing at Langenlonsheim. However, a restoration project started in 1999 and the aircraft was restored to flying condition in 2016 at Koblenz-Winningen. Early 2017 the aircraft took to the skies again, only to suffer a gear collapse upon landing. The aircraft was repaired and airworthy again at the time of the upload. Photo from W. Muntinga

Built in 1946 and delivered to South African Airways in March 1946. To The South African Air Force between January 1966 - 1968 as 6901 and between 1970 and August 1995 as 6902. To Aero Air as ZS-NUR. To The Dutch Dakota Association (DDA) in January 1966, keeping its South African callsign. In May 1996, the aircraft was reregistered PH-DDS. Exported to South Africa again in November 2002, becoming ZS-AUA with Springbok Flying Safaris. In December 2010, the aircraft went to the South African Airways Museum Society at Rand airport.

Registered to Air USA in early May 2020. The aircraft arrived from Wick and continued to Croatia the next morning. Photo by my colleague.

During a short fuel stop on a ferry from the US (Dallas) to Ukraine. From what I can see so far, the aircraft departed on June 8 and so far flown Addison (KADS) - Ellington (KLUG) - Burlington (KBVT) - Goose Bay (CYYR) - Narsarsuaq (BGBW) - Reykjavik (BIRK) - Wick (EGPC) - Groningen (EHGG) - Berlin (EDAZ). It is our understanding that the aircraft will keep this registration. Photo taken by my colleague.

Delivered to Varig in October 1974 as PP-VME. Supposed to go to Nacional Transportes Aereos as PR-NAD, but not taken up. Back to Varig in September 2002. Leased to Rico Linhas Aereas in May 2004. Stored at Sao Jose Dos Campos in 2007. Later sold an at auction to a private owner by INFRAERO, disassembled and trucked to a different lcoation. The new owner is an entrepreneur and 737 captain. The aircraft is now used for multiple purposes. Photo by Jonas Correia Pitangueira, who has received his flight attendant training on the aircraft and has kindly allowed me to share his photo here.

The aircraft was dispatched for a bombing run enemy troops on the West side of Wageningen on May 12, 1940, together with a few other aircraft. They were intercepted by Bf 109's and the aircraft was subsequently shot down near Rhenen/Opheusden . The aircraft made a rough landing and flipped over, however both occupants survived the events.

The pilot of 556, a Fokker C.IV, lost control during takeoff and crashed into '610', which was awaiting its turn for take off. Both pilots managed to get out of the aircraft, which were obviously written off after the event. Photo from Collectie Nederlands Instituut voor Militaire Historie

The aircraft facing the Fokker is an unidentified Dornier Wal. Photo from W. Muntinga

There have actually been 3 aircraft that carried the serial '276', this one is likely the third '276'. The first one (a prototype, c/n 5168) was sold to Romania for an international competition. The second '276' (c/n 5271) crashed at Soesterberg due to wing flutter. The third '276' (c/n 5325) collided with '283' (c/n 5273). Photo from W. Muntinga

The D.XVI were vulnerable to wing flutter (vibration of the wing) during diving manoeuvres. The instruments were capable of indicating a max of 450km/h, often 250 km/h was reached twice. During testing, the aircraft crashed due to this wing flutter. Thankfully, the pilot survived. As a result, counterweights were added to the ailerons. Photo from W. Muntinga

Also known as 'B-6' with the Royal Netherlands Air Force. The aircraft crashlanded due to technical failure. Parts of the aircraft were used for B-3/FT293 somewhere mid 1948. Photo from W. Muntinga

The Fokker S.14 first flew on May 19, 1951. It marks the first Fokker-built jet aircraft and the world first jet aircraft designed specifically for training purposes. The only orders came from the Royal Netherlands Air Force, who acquired 20 aircraft (L-1 to L-20), delivered between August 1955 and November 1956. L-3 was broken up in 1963. Just 3 out of 21 aircraft remain; 1 at the Nationaal Militair Museum at Soesterberg, one under restoration for static display at the Koninklijke Luchtmacht Historische Vlucht (KLuHV) and one at the Aviodrome in Lelystad.

Ex. MJ721, flown from February 1944 until December 1944, when it was grounded due to structural failures of the frame. Initially stored, it became a museum object in January 1959 and became derelict for a long time. To prevent further decay, the decision was made to restore it. This was completed in January and the aircraft was put on display as 'MH424' at the Aviodome. Sold in the summer of 2006, with the intention to make her airworthy again. This was a success and we now know the aircraft as G-IRTY, the Silver Spitfire that flew around the world in 2019. Photo from W. Muntinga

Built in 1955 as a Heron 1B. In use with DeHavilland until February 1960. To Leeward Islands Air Transport in February 1960 as VP-LIB. To Jamaica Air Service/Brisith West Indian Airways in August 1965 as 6Y-JED. to Prinair in November 1967 as N553PR. To Caribbean Aircraft Development Corporation in February 1979. Seems to be converted(?) to a Heron 2 in March 1980, again with Prinair. To American Casa in december 1984. To the IRS in August 1985. To Dorado Wings in September 1985. Seized by a US disctrict Court in 1987. To a private owner, later withdrawn from use and stored at San Juan, PR.

Ex. D-INCI, later became N877BP, N885CA, XA-SAM, XB-HND, N907RT and N752CK. Reportedly still active as N752CK at the time of the upload.

Delivered to KLM in September 1953 as PH-TGF. Later to various owenrs as PH-CGF, N157W, N4406, N73159, N5839, LN-BWN, C-GKFJ, CS-TMG and ZK-KFJ. Reportedly still active at the time of the upload, as ZK-KFJ with Air Freight NZ.

Designed in 1935 and designed for guarding large areas. It ended up being used as a bomber however. When WWII broke out, only 16 Fokker T.V's had been delivered. 9 were enlisted with the bomber wing (850, 853, 854, 855, 856, 858, 859, 862 en 865), 1 was almost complete (852), 1 without engines (857), 1 waiting for armament (863), 1 as spare parts bird (851) and 1 near the KLM building (860). These were all based at Amsterdam/Schiphol. 861 was based at Texel for crew training. Unfortunately I wasn't able to identify the aircraft in the photo. Photo from Harm Reinders
