Country: | 1. G.I B that escaped to the UK later in the war (I wrote the story in the Stories selection of this forum)
2. a captured G.IB
3. No. 312 on an airfield
4. the bath-tube 304 from another point of view
5. No 302 (the one with the divebreaks earlier crashlanded after it's airfield (Waalhaven) has been captured by geman fallschirm jaeger. Curiously, most G.I's were not lost by enemy fire in the air, but they had to crashland because their airfield was inoperable or they were strafed on the ground. At this time 16 kills by the plane are known, while only only 9 went into the air, the first day. After the first day, the only examples left were mainly used for ground support.

. |  you're right. In the D.XXI thread there is a picture of a captured D.XXI which looks even more wrong to me.

Country: | Being of Dutch heritage myself, it irks me to see a Dutch plane with German markings. Fokker Aircraft was one heck of a company.

>Being of Dutch heritage myself, it irks me to see a Dutch plane with German markings. Fokker Aircraft was one heck of a company.
Hm, no doubt about the latter, but with regard to the former - I believe the first couple of thousand Fokker planes had their German markings factory-applied :-)

Country: | Some more
1. Close up of crashed G.1A 302
2 G.1B 361 was at Waalhaven on May 1940. AFAIK it wasn't used in the war, so I don't know what it's doing here on the highway seemingly crashlanded. Any info appreciated 
3 and 4: G.1B 341 was at Schiphol in May 1940 and was very quickly armed with 4 7.62mm MG's and rushed into acton on May 12th. Here captured after May 14th.
5. Close-up of the 361 wreckage
6. line Drawing of the G.1A
