i uploaded the wrong pic - the is the one & only Fokker T-IX built (i was going to post Fokker T-V).  T-IX was a horribly sadistic plane to post.  appologies all around & especially to Udet - certainly the H.P. 52 Hampden is the plane this resembles most.
IMHO prototypes should out of bounds in this type of game

Why sadistic? I knew it right away! (I am Dutch *g*)

Finally I had a chance to know one and beat everything to it, you spoil it ;-)

I have one or two crude books (late seventies, begin eigthies) which are a treasury about Dutch aviation. The series is called 'De Nederlandse luchtvaartencyclopedie' (The Dutch aviation encyclopedia). I believe in the book describing the T-V the T-IX is mentioned as well. I don't remeber exactly but I believe it was a one-off and the first all metal Fokker aeroplane.
