Safir VT-CTS first registed in 1948 c/n 91.133 Ex SE-AWA can`t find out much more than this.

SE-AWA was a 91A and registered on 3/16/48. It was one of the 48 models constructed in the 91A series and was powered by a Gipsy Major. Its subsequent history is still somewhat of a mystery.

Indian Safir

Going back a long way – I’m talking 1963-ish here – there used to be an Indian Saab Safir VT-CTS squatting on the grass with its undercarriage retracted at Egelsbach airfield, West Germany.

Does anybody know what eventually happened to it? Also when was it initially registered, when did it arrive there and how did it come to be there in the first place?
