The Aviasud / Aeriane / Midlands Ultralights Sirocco is of-course now grounded in the UK after a nasty fatal in the UK a couple of years ago followed a tailplane breaking up in the air, and unlikely to fly again due to the small number still flying anyway, combined with the high cost of a total redesign of the back end of the aircraft.

Somebody else jump in, I need to go and dig around my photo library again.

To keep things moving I will jump in if that is ok with you. However I am sure this will not last long.

Looks fairly dated late 30s perhaps? Just a wild guess ZLIN 22?

Wunper,

Trainer, but not a Tipsy. 682al got the correct nationality.

Mel,

Sorry, not a Partenavia either.

Clutching at straws here. S.A.I.2S ancestor of the Ambrosini Grifo or perhaps the Saiman 202?
