	HL1101 is this excellent 1/200 scale diecast model of Fokker F-27 Friendship PH-FHF in the superbly attractive livery NLM, of the Fokker Heritage Flight. Very low production run model and now hard to find. The first production Fokker F27-100 Friendship c/n 10105 was delivered to Aer Lingus as EI-AKA “St. Fintan” on November 19, 1958. In June 1966 the aircraft was sold and in 2004 the aircraft was bought by the Dutch Fokker Heritage Flight and registered as PH-FHF. They named it “Anthony G. Fokker” and painted it in the livery of NLM (Netherlands Airline Company) the predecessor of KLM Cityhopper. It was used for sightseeing flights but in 2008 had its airworthiness certificate revoked and is on display at Aviodrome Lelystadt. The Dutch aircraft manufacturer Fokker developed the 32 seat turboprop F.27 Friendship to replace the DC-3. In 1956 Fokker licensed U.S. manufacturer Fairchild to produce the F.27. In April 1958 the Fairchild F.27 flew and in November 1958 the first Fokker produced F.27-100 was delivered to Aer Lingus. In November 1967 the F.27-500 (FH.227 in the U.S.) first flew. The 500 was a stretched version and the most numerous with 123 being produced. When production ended in 1987 there were 586 Fokker and 207 Fairchild aircraft built.
