Hi Hairyplane,
Others have described the KZ8. Not a classic by any means, but nonetheless, a rare type. A great shame for ANY vintage aircraft to be left to rot, but what drives the owners to neglect them? Obviously lack of time or money to some extent, but why not pass them on to others who are willing to put them back into the air.
At my local airfield, there is a Jodel D140 that has been at the back of the hangar since 1986 or so. A classic if ever there was one, the aircraft is now sitting with flat tyres, no fabric on the wings and under a leaking roof, the owner resisting all attempts by others to buy it, so it will surely end it's days there.
