On the next page is the Siebel 202
Well, don't turn over mate, it is the Siebel Si.202 Hummel (Bumble-bee) and the reason I buzzed off home earlier !!

Designer F. Fechner. First flight May 1938.

Powered by a variety of small engines including Salmson radial, Zündapp, Hirth and Walter Mikron inverted inline units

On 31 January 1939 Si.202B D-EMDR set a new altitude record for light aircraft carrying two people at 5,982 m or 19,625 ft.

A few days later it set another record with just the pilot aboard, reaching 7,043 m or 23,106 ft


Noyade has control
