It was displayed at Air 14 last September. No idea what its movements have been since then though.

I haven’t seen HB-RVN (J-1197) for a bit. It used to be owned by Cyrill Dvorak and based at Altenrhein, but I have no recent news.

Two in New Zealand, both two-seaters: ZK-RVM, an ex-Swiss Mk.55, with Brett Emeny at New Plymouth flies in RNZAF colours; and ZK-VAM, ex-RAAF Mk.35W, with the Currie family of Christchurch in RAAF marks. I know there’s at least one two-seater flying in Australia.

There was an ex-Swiss FB.9(I think?) imported by Sir Ken Hayr to fly, however after his death this was put into storage and hasn’t really been seen since.

Unfortunately I don’t have much in the way of photos:

ZK-RVM

And hopefully this photo of RVM and VAM together is just what you’re looking for :stupid:
