Hej Orla!
How are you? Long time no see. I have not anything new about the Fokker CVs as have not really done any research on NSGr 11 during last years.
My comment is about the Madsen guns. Finns used the 20 mm Madsen on naval vessels, coastal defences and also in railway cars as AA guns. It appears Madsen had good armor piercing ammunition as was quick to point and change direction making it good weapon against Soviet Il-2s for the Railway AA. (Oh well, I see you wrote 8 mm machine guns. Let this be off-topic then).
Anyway. Happy New Year and all the best,
Kari
