LVA Fokker D.VII ‘266’

Date in service Date out of service
May 5 1920  December 12 1935

During it’s service life, the ‘266’ had several minor accidents. All of these could be repaired. One is worth mentioning, as it was pushed against a hangar by a tornado on July 17, 1933.
It was withdrawn because the fuselage was rejected.

The ‘266’ that that was on display at the Militaire Luchtvaart Museum at Soesterberg, The Netherlands is not the original former one. (Hopefully it will be on display again during 2014  when the new ‘Nationaal Militair Museum’ (National Military Museum) wil be opened at former Soesterberg airfield.)
