It is reported that the prototype S-12 (S-11 Instructor, with nose wheel) is now at the Fairchild factory at Hagerstown, Maryland. Fairchild have shown interest in several Fokker aircraft recently, including the F-27 Friendship transport. The Fokker S-13 twin-engined trainer is unlikely to go into production; the prototype has done good work in rescuing flood victims. The S-14 Mach Trainer is another aircraft in which the U.S.A.F. is interested; a Dutch correspondent reports that a developed S-14 will shortly make its appearance, with a Rolls-Royce Nene. The new trainer is expected to achieve 515 m.p.h.
