After lengthy refurbishment the newest aircraft of the Fundación Aeronáutica Antonio Quintana took to the air again in the expert hands of the organisation’s boss, José Luis Olías

The 1959-built CASA/Bucker 1.131-E has received a black and white colour scheme worn by the early Spanish Nationalist Bucker Jungmanns during the 1936 to 1939 Spanish Civil War. This Spanish-built aircraft - E.3B-534 (c/n 2124) – was one of the post-war Buckers in service with the Ejército del Aire, and was based at Armilla. After withdrawal from service in 1973 it flew on the civil register as EF-FSG. It now flies with the Fundación Aeronáutica Antonio Quintana (FAAQ, see FlyPast’s September 2020 issue)
