I have a couple of photographs which my dad took of his grandfather at Croydon Airport when he visited London. It was definitely prewar because other pictures taken outside the house show the Iron railings which were taken away to be melted down during the war. So sometime in the late 1930s. In one of the pictures he is standing in front of a Twin Prop Plane with Air Pilots Training Ltd painted on the nose. In the other one the Plane, again two engined is a KLM (Royal Dutch Airlines) and on the side of the bodyis painted KONIN..... or something very similar. Are there any Plane Buffs out there who can help me to refine the dates of these photos? Thanks, Jim |

Koning and Koningin are the Dutch words for king and queen. Perhaps the plane had a name. |

The KLM one looks to be a DC2. |

'By 1936 KLM was equipped with DC2 and DC3 aircraft.' |
