Dutch Designations - Small Designers/Companies

I've made lists of the smaller Dutch makers which I've decided to group together. Included will be: Joop Carley/NVI/VIH, Pander, Trompenburg/Spyker, Van Berkel, and Walraven.

(Mods: If this is seen as inappropriate, feel free to break up these lists.)

As always, additions and corrections are most welcome.

Dutch Designations - Joop Carley Aircraft

There are huge gaps in the Carley designation list. The two 'Enten' canard aircraft constructed around 1917 don't appear to have been assigned designations at all. So, Carley's designations begin with the Carley S.1. In this case, the prefix letter is for designer Theo Slot. This is followed by Carley's own L.II (or L-II) design. Note the shift from Arabic to Roman numerals.

[Added] An unbuilt design from Ede was the 16-passenger, twin-engined, monoplane airliner designated V.1. With little to nothing to back it up, I have speculated that the 'V' in the designation may be for verkeersvliegtuig or 'commercial airplane'.

There is no sign of unbuilt Carley projects between the C.III trainer and the C.12 light aircraft. Again, note the change in numeral style (this time, from from Roman back to Arabic). I am not aware of any numerical designation for Carley's Werkspoor Jumbo.

And what of the Carley Baby? Some sources list the Baby as the Carley 'C2' but the C.II was a biplane. Was the Carley Baby the same as the S.1? Or was it actually the C.12? Or is the Baby a completely separate Carley design only conceptually connected with the others? Can anyone help with this?

Dutch Designations - Henk Pander & Sons Aircraft

Nederlandse Fabriek van Vliegtuigen H. Pander & Zonen (Pander & Sons)

The doesn't seem to be any real pattern with Pander designations. The start with Types D and E ... but there's no sign of Types A-through-C.

Type letters (eg: Pander E) sometimes followed by a second letter indicating engine type installed (sometimes with numerals indicating horsepower added) - eg: Pander EC (or EC-60) had a Walter NZ60 engine; EG (or EG-100) had a de Havilland Gypsy I.

Designations could be modified to match engine changes - eg: Pander EC-60 H-NAEJ later became an EK-80. Alas, I do not know the engine types for the EH-120 or EK-80 variants. Flight mentions a Siemens-Halske. Can anyone help with those?

To add further confusion, construction order numbers are sometimes applied to Pander types. So, 'Pander D 13' is the thirteenth Pander Type D built (c/n 52, H-NACS).

Then, the designation style switches to 'P' (for Pander?) followed by type numbers for three designs. These designations are rendered without a space, with a hyphen, or, ocassionally, with a period between 'P' and numeral.

The P-1, P-2, and P-3 are followed by the Multipro for which no designation seems to have been recorded. Then, the designation style switches again - this time, to a prefix letter based on the designer's name ('S' for Theo E Slot). The S-4 Postjager was Pander's last powered aircraft design.

Listed at the bottom are three glider designs licensed by Pander - two one-offs and the series-built SG-38. Many sources list the one-offs as though their Dutch registrations were also their designations. There is no evidence for this usage.

Dutch Designations - Trompenburg/Spyker Aircraft

NV Automobiel- en Vliegtuigenfabriek Trompenburg ('Spyker')


Under its Spyker [1] brand name, Amsterdam-based automaker Trompenburg designed and built aircraft from 1914 to 1926. In 1915, the business was expanded by merging with Soesterberg-based NV Nederlandse Vliegtuigenfabriek [2] and its owner/designer, Henri Wijnmalen. [3] The rational was that Nederlandse Vliegtuigenfabriek was too close to the German border and that Spyker had available floor space

Between 1914 and 1918, Automobiel- en Vliegtuigenfabriek Trompenburg produced almost 100 combat aircraft and 200 aero engines. Aircraft production ceased in 1919 and the firm became officially bankrupt in 1926.

Trompenburg/Spyker licensed aircraft followed the pattern of designation used by their originators. So, the Trompenburg-Farman HF-22 simply took the Henri Farman designation for its Gnome Lambda-powered pusher design.

Original Trompenburg/Spyker designs were marketed as Spykers. Each type was sequentially numbered with a 'V' prefix'. The V.1 was partly designed by a French engineer, HA Vannehard, but I am presuming that the 'V' designation simply refers to 'Vliegtuig' or Aircraft.

______________________________


[1] Some sources continued to use the pre-1903 spelling, 'Spijker'.

[2] Sometimes rendered as NV Nederlandse Vliegtuigen Fabriek.

[3] The Soesterberg factory had been producing Bleriots and Farmans.

______________________________

Trompenburg's Spyker types

All original Spyker designs followed the same pattern - tractor biplanes with unstaggered wings. The 'V' designations presumably spring from HA Vannehard, the original engineer. But Monsieur Vannehard (who went to work for Joop Carley when Trompenburg failed) is only strongly associated with the V.1.

Spyker V.1 - 1916 single-seat biplane fighter, 1 x prototype

Dutch Designations - Van Berkel's Patent Aircraft

The full name of Van Berkel or Van Berkel's Patent was NV Maatschappij tot vervaardiging van snijmachines volgens Van Berkel's Patent en van andere Werktuigen (SA Society for the manufacture of cutting tools, according to Van Berkel's Patent and other Instruments). Quite a mouthful!

Known for making precision scales and meat slicers, Van Berkel set up its aeronautical division specifically to make the WA float-fighter. Other designs followed but Van Berkel's aircraft division closed in 1921 due to further orders failing to materialize.

Van Berkel Aircraft Designations

The designation WA is often said to in honour of WA (Wilhelmus Adrianus) Van Berkel. More likely, WA stood for Watervliegtuig A (Seaplane, 1st Type). That would better explain the follow-on types designated WB, WC, etc. Some sources render Van Berkel designations with hyphens (eg: W-A, W-B).

Wow, nice piece of works.
Are you familiar with the book 'De Nederlandse Vliegtuigen' by Theo Wesselink and Thijs Postma (Bussum, 1982), which describes all aircraft ever built in The Netherlands.
 
The good news: Theo Wesselink has published these, two books originally started as Putnam titles.
Nederlandse vliegtuigen, deel 1 en 2. They're good.

Needs good search.
 
The C-II had the seats behind each other and the C-III was a side by side

I cannot recall where that side-by-side ref came from ... and its entirely possible that I've garbled information on the C-III with the C-II :-[

Looking at photos on the NIMH website suggests either a tandem 2-seater - as you say - or, as in the case of the rear-view (link below), a single-seat (front cockpit only).

Apophenia, I made some calculations and found that the fuselage of the C.II was 85cm wide, I think difficult for side by side
 
Carley 'Ente' - 191[?]-1917 flying school canard a/c, x 2
-- 191[?] Ente: [??]

Via a friend from Dutch forum,

and from Luchtvaartkennis 1996 06;

Carley Canard 2

After Carley in 1917 the old air camp of Verwey & Lugard in Ede and the contents of the
First Dutch Flying Association in Gilze-He built up rows parts a Canard (duck plane, with
height and direction cycles at the front instead of at the back at the tail), however, on the
first flight killed in an accident. This was followed by a second Canard, (Av 031) which is
still present in Ede in July 1920 used to be.

Need more Info,

Van Berkel Jager-I was a biplane fighter Project,powered by single engine ?.

Almost the source; De Nederlandse Vliegtuig Encyclopedie
 
Thanks hesham. So, it appears that Carley's canard was called Canard and not 'Ente'. The use of 'Ente' (in place of eend) did seem strange. Still, other German terms were in use in Dutch aviation at the time. It is possible that modern folks are editing out the Duitse ;)

On this Jager-I ... searching around for "jager" and Ir. Castendijk or John Kerner brought up nothing. I'm wondering if this might have been further work on a Spyker fighter concept brought to Van Berkel's Patent by AG von Baumhauer in 1919?

I think not,my dear Apophenia,

and there was also Van Berkel R-I and R-II,a recce monoplane Projects ?,and the later powered by Napier Lion
engine ?.
 
Also in my files,

Van Berkel Jager-II was a biplane fighter Project,powered by one 450 hp Juptier engine
 
In my files,

Van Berkel made development for a Dornier Wal flying boat,but it was remained a Project only.

Interesting. I had speculated that 'WC' may have been reserved for the unbuilt Do G Grief project. Maybe it was actually for Wal? (I know that the Wal prototype hadn't flown yet when the Van Berkel aviation department shut down, but design work would have been well underway.)
