Apologies if I’ve missed something obvious, but does anyone know what the current status of this aircraft is? It doesn’t appear to have attended any of the shows this year where you might expect to see it (Legends, La Ferte, Hannweide etc), despite being so popular in 2010.
Is it resting, under repair, sold abroad?? I’m sincerely hoping it makes a return for 2012…

Photos of it performing in 2009.

Did NOT appear in Marpingen in August. 😉

Thanks Elliott, if it’s still active and staying in Europe then that’s great news.

I believe it was sold to another German owner – I’m sure his name was given on the Hahnweide website some time ago (maybe July/August time) and they explained that he was currently converting to it, but I can’t find the update now… However it certainly sounds like it’s staying in Germany for the time being.
Sorry to not be of more help!
