Fokker F27 Friendship airliner at RAF Fairford IAT. GAV 2111-211
For over 35 years, cargo and troop transport within Europe was handled by a dozen Fokker 's. The sole operating unit, 334 sq, flew three Friendship passenger transports with airline style interior (C-1 through C-3) along with nine cargo/trooping Troopship models. These were serialled C-4 through C-12. In this picture C-10, sprayed in it's demonstration colour scheme, shows what the type was perhaps best known for to the public outside of the Netherlands. Apart from being a tough and reliable transport, the was a popular airshow performer. The F27 was also built under licence in the USA as the F-227
