Форум Breguet's Aircraft Challenge

The Spyker V-1 fighter of end 1916, the first original built Dutch machine.
   The design was made by a duo of designers, the French designer Vannehard and engineer Albert Gilles von Baumhauer a Dutchman born in Heerenveen.
   The Spyker machine was built by the NV Automobiel- en Vliegtuigenfabriek (Automobile- and flying machines factory] Trompenburg at Amsterdam.
   The machine was powered by a Thulin 80 hp rotary engine and was eventually bought by the MLD (Marine Luchtvaart Dienst - Marine Air Service) in July 1918, where it got the serial A-7 on the fuselage, later changed to A-10. The machine was written off in mid 1920.
   That leaves us at a Spyker V-1 (factory designation) which had Marine Air Service serials A-7 and later A-10.
