Mercury

A remarkable aircraft - retractable, flaps (all vacuum) etc and built in 1946 out of plywood.

I flew in formation with it on a couple of occasions - it looks great in the air with her legs tucked away.

Hans is a very busy man. He also has a very good arrangement whereby the aircraft resides for free in the Stauning Museum over the winter and on his own private strip for the 2 months a year he is on Hindo (an island in the middle of the fjord just north of Stauning).

Lets keep our fingers crossed about it coming to OW. However, it won't be this year.
