A distinct aircraft type. Of the 70 aircraft that were produced in Poland from 1936 till 1939, no one survive today. Except the miracle of OY-DYX. It was produced in 1938, stolen by the Germans during WW-II, escaped the destruction of Luftwaffe aircraft left in Denmark in 1945, entered the Danish civil register in 1952, crashed in Rønne on 4. August 1963. Thanks to a complete set of construction drawing in the Danish archive, saved just before they were to be destroyed in 2012, and a few original parts from OY-DYX, a new aircraft was built, and became airborne again 19.June 2021 This photo is copyright © Erik Frikke, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
