[4K] Unique!: The ONLY Flying Dutch Fokker D.21 in the World!

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.
