A rare machine indeed. In 1927 the Swiss company Flugzeugbau A. Comte designed and built a prototype of this two-seat cabin monoplane. The AC-4 version had a 115hp Cirrus Hermes inline engine, while five later AC-4Bs were built with 140hp Armstrong Siddeley Genet Major or 110hp Cirrus Hermes radial engines. Hanging from the roof of Daetwyler's Langenthal hangar.

The M3-160 Swiss Trainer was a design aimed at simplified maintenance, built and first flown by the Daetwyler company in 1983. Many sections of the aircraft such as the control surfaces are interchangeable with minimal modification. In 1993 design rights were sold to SME in Malaysia and twenty were supplied to the R Malaysian AF for basic training, operating until the late 2000s. This one has been preserved back at its place of conception.

The world's only flying piston Porter. This is an immaculate re-creation of the prototype Pilatus PC-6 Porter HB-FAN, first flown on 4th May 1959. It was painted in the colours seen here for the Swiss Dhaulagiri Expedition and took the world record for the highest altitude landing of a fixed-wing aircraft, at 5200m up in the Himalayas. However on 5th May 1960, just a day after the first anniversary of that first flight, it was badly damaged on landing and had to be abandoned. The wreckage is still there to this day.

The world's only flying piston Porter. This is an immaculate re-creation of the prototype Pilatus PC-6 Porter HB-FAN, first flown on 4th May 1959. It was painted in the colours seen here for the Swiss Dhaulagiri Expedition and took the world record for the highest altitude landing of a fixed-wing aircraft, at 5200m up in the Himalayas. However on 5th May 1960, just a day after the first anniversary of that first flight, it was badly damaged on landing and had to be abandoned. The wreckage is still there to this day.

This late production Otter was delivered to the Tanzanian AF as JW9109 aboard an RCAF C-130 in 1967 and sold back to Canada in 1972. It joined Wings in 1993 and in 2004 underwent turbo conversion by Texas Turbine. Unlike the Harbour Air Otters converted by Vazar using the ubiquitous PT6A turboprop, the five Wings birds are TPE331 powered. Taken from cruise liner Celebrity Eclipse.

Funchal has an excellent open viewing deck and when the light crosses to the other side of the runway, there are plenty of spectacular vantage points along the perimeter.
