This very nice replica was constructed by Amicale Jean-Baptiste Salis in the 1980s, and was registered to them on 31 May 1990 as F-AZPG. The aircraft is powered by an original period 80 hp Le Rhône 7B engine. The titles carried on the wings and tailplane are what French aviator Adolphe Pégoud used on his aircraft in the 1910s. He was a famous pilot who in World War I became the world's first fighter ace. This photo is copyright © Aad van der Voet, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
