Bon après-midi Richard,

That one took a bit of finding, it's the Koolhoven FK.32 School Machine

navigation congress | aerial navigation | international aerial | 1925 | 0582 | Flight Archive track

I have to go soon and probably won't be able to get back on-line for a couple of days, so please declare Open House when you confirm. Another good challenge!

TC

Not from the National Aircraft Factory, and I have no information to say whether it was military or civilian. I suspect the latter.

Well done Richard.

The factory was in Baltimore, and Graeme has found my reference.

You have control.
