Some more offerings from Wings Over Wairarapa 09. There were 3 Fokker Triplanes on display as above.
As with my last post, I really don't have any idea what their registrations are. Can anyone provide the details?
The only Fokker Triplane that I know that these are not is ZK-FOK that was built by Stewart Tantrum in Levin, first registered on 19/2/85. This Triplane has a larger motor (a Continental radial from a tank I think), than the other 6 Fokker Triplanes that are in New Zealand - these other 6 came from the USA, (ZK- FOC, FOD, FOT, JOC, JOG and JOK). They are all owned by The Vintage Aviator.
Reading from the top, they are ZK-FOT, ZK-JOG and ZK-FOC.
ReplyDeleteThanks Greybeard. I should have asked you when we were at Masterton? How did you know which is which?
ReplyDeleteI asked one of the engineers about two years ago, and the markings haven't changed since. I think Aviation News later confirmed the data.
ReplyDeleteThanks again Greybeard. I have also found photos of all the 7 Triplanes with registrations on Airliners.net I got to Airliners.net by Googling "The Vintage Aviator Fokker Triplanes" and clicking onto Airliners.net (they didn't seem to come up when I searched under Fokker Dr1) Of the other Triplanes ZK-JOK has a white fuselage stripe and a white tail, ZK-JOC has a red diagonal cross on a yellow fuselage band, ZK-JOB has the blue rear fuselage and tail, and ZK-FOK is the Red Baron's machine.
