von Hemert Aéroplane No. X

A glider built by Walton White Evans von Hemert. The machine was built in 1911 in a carpenter workshop in Amersfoort, Netherlands. Von Hemert (born 1894) was then 17 years of age. He made several flights with the glider, one of which was on 5 February 1911, as reported in the Dutch aviation magazine “De Luchtvaart”. The glider was towed by a car via a connecting line and the flight lasted about one minute at a height of around 10 meters. All of a sudden a gust of wind broke the left wing, crashing the machine. The wings were wrecked but the fuselage and the part where the pilot sat was intact. The rudder sported the identification “Aeroplane V. Hemert No. X”.
