Evansb is correct again.
. It is the Fokker F.XXII
The following is a
précis from John Stroud’s book European Transport Aircraft since 1910 published by Putnam:-
In 1935 Fokker produced the F.XXII which was really a scaled-down F.XXXVI, with four 500hp Pratt and Whitney Wasp T1D1 engines and accommodation for 32 passengers in 4 cabins. In the wing were cargo holds between the engine nacelles. Apart from the prototype aircraft PH-AJP, two others were built PH-AJQ and PH-AJR and operated by KLM. PH-AJQ only lasted a few months before it crashed at Schipol. Another aircraft SE-ABA (the aircraft in Tiger_mate's photograph) was built for the Swedish company AB Aerotransport and operated with this airline until it was lost in an accident in June 1936. The two surviving aircraft were sold to British companies before the war. PH-AJR became G-AFXR and PH-AJP became G-AFZP. In November 1939 both were equipped as navigational trainers and operated from Prestwick by Scottish Aviation. Both aircraft were impressed into service in October 1941 and became HM 159 and HM 160. HM 159 bore the names
Bronosaurus and
Sylvia Scarlett and was lost in the West Loch Tarbert after catching fire in the air. HM 160 survived the war and was put into commercial operation by Scottish Aviation as G-AFZP. It operated some Prestwick to Belfast services but was withdrawn late in 1947 due to lack of spares and was finally broken up in 1952.
To provide the best possible view the pilot’s seats were on a raised platform, with the first pilot on the centreline and the second pilot further aft on the starboard side. The radio operator had a rearward facing seat at a lower level on the port side.
