Hi,
while putting together our flying club histoire, I tracked one of our old
Blaniks to have been sold to form. Yugoslavia back in 1992, tracing it
forwards to Slovenia where it was registered under S5-7108. It'd be nice to
hear if it still exists and/or what happened to it.
This Blanik was a brilliant, copper-white-blue colored beauty with 2
art. horizons - u know, the russian models with brown sky & blue
earth. Unfortunately we did not use radios at that time --> no battery -->
no horizons :)
You can find a couple of pics of this plane, taken back in 1981 at
Rautavaara (EFRA) at

I'm the one running & holding the wing.
