Where is this race course?

Hi Ralf

It is good to see that you are still working on the model. Just a little info about the OY-DOD: it was actually more or less rebuilt after a crash before it was used for the race. So maybe this particular plane had some non-standard features?

derBruchpilot, I think you should not have let us see this one. Lots of interest. And here we are trying to get you to retire from retiring. Neat little plane, visually, mechanically, and historically.

Thank you for this one.

In any case it's a good excuse...:icon_lol:
 
The 'Fokhoven'.

The Desoutter Mk.I was based on the Koolhoven F.K.41, which evolved into the F.K.43 before the outbreak of WW2. The KLM use a few of these, and after WW2 some more were built by Fokker which is remarkable since Frits koolhoven and Anthony Fokker were fierce rivals before 1940.
This aircraft was known as the Fokker-Koolhoven F.K.43, or 'Fokhoven' for short.

Only one of these Fokhovens still exists today, and resides in a car museum in the Netherlands. Last year I was able to make a few photos of this aircraft:

Though it is quite a lot different from the original F.K.41 I thought it would be a good occasion to post these. ;)
