Dutch Fokker D.21 back in the air after 82 years!

Hoogeveen Airport, 8 July 2023 – During the Historic Heroes event, organized by Egmond Vintage Wings, the Fokker D.XXI PH-XXI / 229 was shown flying to the public for the first time. Flown by English test pilot Dan Griffith. A great achievement by the people of "Egmond vintage wings" to realize their dream by building a flying Fokker D.XXI.

The original Fokker D.21 with number '229' was shot down over Nieuwkoop on 11 May 1940. Pilot sergeant Jacobus Roos barely managed to get to safety with his parachute. The wreck of the Fokker was salvaged in 1993 and can now be found in the "CRASH Air War and Resistance Museum '40-'45" in Rijsenhout near Aalsmeer.
It is a coincidence that I was born and raised in the village of Nieuwkoop, which makes it a familiar story to me.

    The F-XXI was the backbone of the Finnish airforce, succesfully battling the Russians in the Winter war
  • @laserdragonflying966
    Nice to have a story from your youth up and flying again on such a lovely day😊
  • @michieldame701
    Ik weet dat 'iedereen' een G-1 wil zien, maar de T-V bommenwerper is ook de moeite waard, ook dit model heeft zijn waarde getoond in de Meidagen. De drie toestellen zouden een mooie Meidagen Memorial vlucht kunnen vormen.

    Hartelijk dank voor het uploaden van deze video, de kwaliteit van de beelden is geweldig. Ik heb lang gehoopt om dit vliegtuig te zien vliegen - het is prachtig! Hopelijk krijg ik de kans om naar Nederland te komen en het van dichtbij te zien. Groeten van een Fokker DXXI fan in Groot-Brittannië

    A huge part of aviation history. The F DXXI was a major transition from triplanes and biplanes to modern aviation of the time. I hope this piece survives posterity.
