Turkey

The Turkish interest was short. Two test pilots where sent to Welschap to fly as passengers with Meinecke ( he was one of Fokker's testpilots). Despite the fact that on the first test flight one engine failed they praised the G-1. That was the end of the Turkish interest even after other engines were mounted (the WASP engines).

Hungary

The firm Manfred Weiss located in Budapest was not unknown to Fokker. Before the Second World War dozens of Fokkers were built under license (mostly C-5, D-13 and F-7 planes). Manfred Weiss had also obtained (which is not proved) a license right for the G-1 but no planes were built before the outbreak of the war. Later during the war Manfred Weiss has built BF-109's.

Switzerland

Switzerland was a loyal customer of Fokker too. Earlier large numbers of D-7's and C-5's were bought. Later - in smaller numbers - the D-13 en C-10 followed. Three Test pilots were sent to the Netherlands to test the G-1. Though the result were very promising no orders followed.
