S.IIa

The S.II '94' was converted into the S.IIa at Soesterberg in 1922.

The S.IIa was used as ambulance plane.

As a Red Cross aircraft, it was painted white with a large red cross on either side.

The rear upper part of the fuselage could be folded open to accommodate a stretcher.

The S.IIa '94' at Soesterberg with a halved rudder.

The plane has become known, among other things, for rescue flights to the Wadden Islands* to bring seriously ill patients to the mainland.
The low landing speed (80 km/h) and the large flight range came in handy here.
*The Wadden is a group of island in the north of the Netherlands

Here is the S.IIa at the airport 'De Vlijt' on Texel. It's around 1939 or 1940.
The plane is no longer completely white, but now has the red cross on a large white circle.
On the tail, the red-white-blue has been replaced by the orange mobilization painting.
