Hi all, I’m being a pest again. Do any gliding types out there have any experience of flying the Fauvel? There was one in our hangar at Detmold, Germany in the mid 60s and I thought then that it looked like a nice piece of kit. Just wondering what the handling was like.

They got one in Vaasa, Finland. They were going to test flight it this summer, but maybe it was too much for them? :p

Helsinki-Malmi airport in Finland was founded in 1936 and all the original hangars and other buildings are still there. Even parts (asphalt) of the original runways are been used today.

Didn’t see anyone on the elevators and most people were treating it carefully.

There were some people how didn’t know how to respect an old lady…

Wouldnt it be great to have her runnable?

Yeah. Just send an new engine, since the last one was kind of nothing 😀 (The Aviation Museum of Central Finland exchanged something for Merlin XX, the wrong version).

It was a pitty that no security guards were around. One guy even took photographs of his daughters sitting at the elevators!

If it’s so original why dismantling it and transporting it. IIRC this is not
the first time the aircraft was taken apart and transported. Evertime
things are removed and put back small damage to the paintwork
is caused.

What an unique aircraft.

Cheers

Cees

The aeroplane doen’t have any permanent place at any museum (the same thing applies to about 20 other planes). When transporting only wings and spinner are removed. The Central Museum of Finland is trying to get money for new exhibition gallery but for the time being the plane is used at Finnish Defence Forces’ expos.
