A reproduction of the previously extinct Fokker C.X recently arrived at the ATN Aircraft Division workshops at Hoogeveen Airport, where it will be completed before going on show at the new Military Museum at Soesterberg (see News April 2014 Aeroplane). The project began back in 1993, a joint enterprise between the Friends of the Dutch Air Force Museum Foundation and the Fokker company. The two-seat, light bomber/ reconnaissance machine, powered by a 640 h.p. Rolls-Royce Kestrel V, entered service in 1936. In addition to the 13 examples operated by the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army, and the 20-odd CXs flown by the Dutch Air Force, four more CXs, fitted with 835 h.p. Bristol Pegasus radials, were delivered to the Finnish Air Force in 1937.
