Sisu1A. The prototype flew in Dec 1958, making it technically qualify
for US status as bonafide vintage (in the UK 'vintage' means pre

Thanks for the links. Nice bird.

Too bad that is not a two seater so that pretty fiance could ride along.
You need to design a special enlarged version to make that possible!
