Not much gives away that this photo is 60 years old, except perhaps the traditional runway pattern of the airfield below - does anyone recognize it? Used as a demonstrator, this early 125 became HB-VAH in May 1965 and F-BKMF only a few days later. On 5 June 1966 it crashed into the sea off NCE during an airshow -while making a climbing turn the pilots exceeded the design limit loads of the wing. This photo was added on 20 May 2025, and has since been viewed 89 times. |
