Fokker noses in Amsterdam area

[planefixer]

While in the Amsterdam area yesterday (on our way back from Leeuwarden) we had some time before our flight
home so we visited the Luchtvaart Hobby Shop in Aalsmeerderbrug. Around
the corner from the shop (on Boeingavenue) outside an industrial unit is
a Fokker 28? nose section with "Luchtvaart Hobby Shop" titles, so it was
obviously used in the past to promote the aviation shop. Does anyone
know the ID of this?

Also, just down the road in Aalsmeer is the VTOC aero engineering
training centre and although they wouldn't allow us to view their
airframes inside as it was "against company policy" as laid down by the
director of the company, there was a Fokker 100? nose section in
open storage around the back of the facility with old US Air
markings/Titles. Does anyone know the identity of this nose section.

Thanks for any help and apologies to any members for any incorrect spellings of locations!

Regards
Tony

Hi Tony,

This question pops up every now and then (mostly by people visiting the LHS, indeed!), so here we go: the F28 nose section on Boeing Avenue belongs to a former test-airframe built by Fokker, with "c/n" TA-02. It never flew but was used for ground tests with Fokker first and later with Delft Technical University. Next to it should be a (much smaller) upper part of a cockpit section of an F27-200. This did belong to a actual aircraft, Burmese XY-ADM (c/n 10237) which was damaged by lightning in the 1970's and returned to Fokker. It never flew afterwards but was also used for tests by Fokker and the Dutch Aerospace Laboratory NLR. I don't know about the other cockpit at the VTOC (basically for the same reason as you: never got round to checking what's there due to that @$#% "company policy"), but someone is bound to know.
