Operator: Private - Verein für "Exotic and Antique Flying Machines" The Bücker Bü 131 Jungmann is a two-seater biplane reconnaissance and multi-purpose combat aircraft. It is the first aircraft of the aircraft manufacturer Bücker Flugzeugbau. The first flight took place on April 27, 1934. At the beginning of 1936, Switzerland also had to look for a suitable training aircraft for its pilot beginners. The Bü 131 was used in flight schools and in the newly created Luftwaffe, where it became one of the standard training aircraft and was in service with the Swiss Air Force from 1936 to 1971.

Following a long walk to the airfield at the top of a steep hill overlooking the lake, this was one of the aircraft present at Lausanne.

This aircraft, built in 1938, is seen in late evening light. It carries its civil registration together with a false serial as mock Luftwaffe markings. It was cancelled from the British register in 1986 as sold in Switzerland as HB-AFE.

This aircraft carries fictitious Swiss Air Force markings. Whilst it is a replica, I did not realise this until I checked the CAA register. What a beauty. The owner and builder must be very proud.
