First flown in 1930, the Bánhidi Gerle (dove) was a Hungarian sport aircraft of which nine or ten exampes were built, in eight versions! Designer Antal Bánhidi and Tibor Bisits flew the Gerle 13 around the Mediterranean in early 1933. Their route is marked on the tailfin. That summer Bánhidi flew it from Debrecen to Croydon via Northern Europe, then back to Debrecen non-stop. The operator is the flying club of the Budapest technical university, which also built this airframe. A flying replica of the Gerle 13 was built in 1988.
