This nice Broussard has been in the possession of the Candel family since 1992.

The only Speedwing in the world. Produced in the 1930s but not assembled due to the Great Depression. It was crated and stored until acquired by James Rollison in 1960. The first assembly attempt was started in 1965, and it was registered to the owner as N4442 in April 1965, but the project was not finished. More attempts followed, all unsuccessful due to missing blueprints and parts. Rollison sold the aircraft to his son Jim, who in the late 1980s managed to obtain the blueprints. This solved the problems, and in 1992 the aircraft was finally assembled. In Feb 1993 it flew for the first time, 60 years after it was produced. It was sold to Walt Bowe in 2011, who restored it and sold it to collector Jan Roozen in France in early 2013.
