I have an amateur film from my grandfather’s maiden flight from Soerabaja to Batavia in September 1932 by the F.VII registration PK-AFC. (on the fiilm) According to your list above this plane crashed in 1931. How can?

Hi Willem,
the list sais “Accident Langgan Sumatra 14.2.32” but not written off. The plane was later used by the NEI Air Corps.

Hi Willem,
I checked my sources – the list sais “Accident Langgan Sumatra 14.2.32” – the plane was not written off but later acquired by the NEI Air Corps. I think this answers your question.

Thanks Robert. I think the plane was repaired after the crash on 14.2.1932 and continued to fly for the Koninklijke Nederlandsch Indische Luchtvaartmaatschappij and sold after 21.9.1932. The date of my grandfather’s flight. Should you be interested I could send you the footage as MP4. I also have two letters from him describing this experience.

Hi Robert. Somebody brought to my attention that the youtube starts halfway. I changed this, so it is starting at the beginning. Think it is best to reload it at you blog. In the meantime I found some timetables from those years. Interested in a digital copy? Regards, Willem

Thanks Willem; I will attend to that. And yes, I would like a digital copy of those timetables very much.
