A rare aircraft type

Boisavia Mercurey visiting Ringway in 1953. Parked overnight in the 1938-built terminal hangar under a large prewar sign saying "No Smoking".

This rare aircraft was one of only 47 of all variants of the Boisavia B60 to be built. It is a four seat French design which first flew in 1949 and the example here was a 601L, the commonest variant of which 27 were built. Few now survive. I had last seen and photographed this aircraft at Antwerp in 1975
