Albatros arrives at MAM

摘要

After spending nearly 30 years at the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton, Albatros D.Va replica G-BFXL has been acquired by Jerry Yagen's Military Aviation Museum, and was assembled at Virginia Beach duringjanuary. Originally built in the mid-1970s by master craftsman Art Williams and his team at Williams Flugzeugbau at Guenzburg, 35 miles east of Augsburg in southern Germany, the Ranger-engined machine was registered to the Surrey-based Leisure Sport company in August 1978, and operated alongside several other First World War replicas. In the mid-1980s it went to the FAAM.
