Hi all,
In my opinion, the candidate for this airframe is PH-UFM, former MLD 21-31, KLu R-4 and RAF NJ957.
However the actual aircraft that landed in Amsterdam was MZ216, according to photos shown on internet.
This particular aircraft became R-3, later went to TU Delft.

As said, above is just my opinion, hopefully its true ID will be known shortly.

According to Noordhollands Dagblad it is the very same aircraft that landed in the final stages of the nazis in Amsterdam. The owner has shown the original logbooks as evidence.

This is still very odd, this would mean that the Dutch military of defense national archive has always been wrong

Or Frank is wrong in bringing in PH-UFM as a candidate.

The a/c in the picture in the article in the Telegraaf is the PH-UFM at Aalsmeer.
Did send an e-mail to the Dutch military of defense national archive to check the serial on their original photo's.
They replied that they will get an answer within 2 weeks.
