Hello! is there a person at this forum who knows about the F.K.26 from BAT? (British Aerial Transport Company).

This commercial airplane from 1919, designed by Frits Koolhoven, is subject of much study by me (publishing later on). For this moment I'm especially looking for photo's of the plane, the BAT-factory, staff, etc.

Any tip/suggestion very much welcome! (to expert or collector, archive, website, forum, etc.)

Thank you,

Hans

Both are correct. He was baptised Sytse Frederic Willem Koolhoven and adressed as Frits Koolhoven. He may have used Frederick in English speaking countries of course.
