The SUMPAC, the world's first human-powered aircraft. Built in 1961 by aeronautical engineering students at Southampton University to compete for the Kremer Prize. It was successfully flown by Derek Piggot on 9th November 1961. Allocated BAPC.7 by the British Aircraft Preservation Council after its formation in 1967.
