By the way- did the Fokker G.I was there and suffer some losses?

As far as is known there were no Fokker G.1's at De Kooy. This airfield was owned by the Navy, the Fokker D.XXI's were guests at the field. One G.1, the 307, was at the airfield of Texel and this one was caputed intact by the Germans.

Hi all,

To be more precise, only one G-1 was on De Kooy for a short period. On May 10th Fokker G-1 #315 from 3 JaVA landed on De Kooy for refuelling and new ammunition. During landing however, it run with its propellor in one of the obstacles and had to be repaired. After this #315 was allocated to 4 JaVA at Bergen.

Best regards,
Hans Nauta
