Photos © Frits Klinkhamer
| Frits was rummaging through a selection of photos one day and decided to scan me a batch and send some over. He had provided several others on earlier occasions (here & here), but this time I decided to create a page dedicated to his material. Frits included some Martinair light aircraft too and since I have a history with this company (albeit with the airline, not the flight academy at Lelystad), I decided to include them. They are also a signature to Frits' interest in aviation. Of some photos the details may be lacking, that is what time does to us all, but if anyone has something to add on missing data please feel free to write to the Webmaster. EMAIL |
Frits sent me some photo negatives and slides from his conscription period in Surinam, 1973 - 1974. He did not have the fascination for classic aeroplanes yet, but as a keen photographer he did photograph these..
Fernand van de Plas suggested the following identity: "PZ-CLG Douglas DC-6A (c/n 44259). Registered in 1975 to Caraibische Lucht Transport, ex/ PJ-CLG. In April 1976 it went to Bellomy-Lawson Aviation, registered as N6259C, 06May77."
Fernand reconsidered and followed up with: "I don't think it could be a DC-6A, but rather a DC-6B because of the wide cockpitdoor and its off-center window; so either a DC-6B or (reconfigured) DC-6BF. But it could also be a DC-7, a DC-7B or DC-7C." On PZ-TDA I found: 'PZ-TDA Douglas DC-7B 45335 N836D (Eastern Airlines) 01.04.1970 rgd Edward Kelly. Operated by Surinaamse Overzeese Luchtvaartmij. Last flight during 1971, abandoned Paramaribo (Surinam), derelict.' Anyway, Fernand van de Plas has yet another candidate... |

Frits Klinkhamer sent me these photos from his collection, in Nov.2009:![]() Frits added here: CF-DXO (c/n 12343) Kenting Atlas Aviation Ltd, note the skis, they did some charter work in the Arctic. www.aerotransport.org, the online database, showed the following operators of CF-DXO: Hollinger Ungava Transport, Keir Air, Air Commonwealth Alberta, Kenting Atlas Aviation, Superior Airways, Lambair and Nunasi-Northland Airlines. It has been scrapped. |
About this photo Frits wrote: "A DC-3 from Aero Africane, I think the picture was made at Schiphol, see PH-… markings under the left wing. So it must be F-BCYP, c/n 9158, (ex PH-TCG, KLM) or F-BCYG, cn 19328 (ex PH-TCA, KLM). Aero Africaine was the operating name of the Societe Africaine des Transports Tropicaux (SATT)." |
