I cannot remember where I saw this magnificent aircraft in 1973, 74, 75 or 76, a genuine Storch rather than an MS built version. It was later preserved in a museum in Kassel but restored and returned to the air.

Fieseler Storch fitted with agricultural spraying equipment at Stuttgart in 1965.

Postwar-built version of the Fieseler Storch operated by the French Armee de l'Air.

Modified for the glider towing role and fitted with a more powerful Jacobs R-915A radial engine of 300 h.p.

MS-502 Criquet fitted with a Salmson 9AB uncowled radial engine. (C.R. Parisien)

The history of this aircraft is unclear but it is certainly not a genuine Spanish air force Storch. The reported construction number belongs to a French-built MS.500, registered F-BBAS between 1959 and 1966. The Museo del Aire says that it is a Fi 156A obtained from the Autotechnik Museum in Germany. Other sources say it is a Fi 156C-2, with Scramble adding it is a composite airframe, and the c/n is given by others as 2027/2.
