EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Fokker F-27 Troopship C-5 (msn 10155) of the Koninklijke Luchtmacht (Royal Netherlands Air Force) from circa 1995. The Fokker F-27-300M, a versatile and robust aircraft, served as an essential component of the Dutch military's transport fleet during the late 20th century. The F-27 Troopship C-5, with its distinctive blue and grey camouflage livery, is seen here taxing on the runway, ready for its next mission. The aircraft's powerful engines emit plumes of smoke as they warm up, adding an element of drama to the scene. The Fokker F-27, a twin-engine turboprop transport aircraft, was first introduced in the late 1950s and quickly gained popularity due to its versatility and reliability. It was widely used by military and civilian operators around the world for various roles, including troop transport, cargo transport, and medical evacuation. The Dutch military acquired several Fokker F-27s in the 1960s and 1970s, which served faithfully in various roles until their retirement in the late 1990s. The C-5, with its troopship configuration, was capable of carrying up to 100 passengers or 24 stretchers and 12 medical attendants for medical evacuation missions. This photograph is a testament to the Fokker F-27's enduring legacy and its significant role in the history of military aviation transportation. The image, part of The Tony Lovelock Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era in military aviation.
