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.
