Thanks for the information and picture links which are interesting. I did indeed try to recover the mortal remains of the prototype in the mid 2000’s . Sadly the trail ran cold at the report of the fuselage being used in a playground and carted away to a dump. I sometimes ponder what the chances are that anything still survives out there.

The prototype became CR-CAC 27 Mar 1956
The playground Dove was CR-CAB according to

“CR-CAB alas was donated to a downtown park in Praia as a play thing and unfortunately got hauled off to a local dump about 3 years ago after virtually being stripped…”

Tom E’s site linked in post 5 , was a useful guide to survivors but looks not to have been updated with more recent intelligence available for some years. So far as I know only minor components of EI-ACV may survive.

Thanks for clarifying!

Thank you, Martin. And a very happy Christmas to you.

…and to you too!
