1976 FOURNIER RF6B AEROPLANE

This German-built Fournier RF6B 100 aircraft originates from around 1976, and has been in storage since the 1990s. It is being sold as a project.

We're told it used to belong to a wealthy farmer from Kent, who won various awards using it for aerobatics, based at Biggin Hill. He had reportedly paid £12k for it, and spent another £10k on it. On his death it passed to his son, who removed the wings and placed the plane into storage in the 1990s. It was repainted and the engine taken apart and micro-blasted with a view to restoration, but this never happened.

The engine is a Rolls Royce Continental 200, apparently the most powerful the airframe could handle.
