It’s a Belgian design that’s why :LOL:
The Aviasud Mistral was designed by two Belgian engineers, Francois Goethals and Bernard d'Otreppe.
The prototype first flew in May 1985 and the aircraft entered production with AviaSud engineering in Fréjus with the first production model having its maiden flight in February 1986.Aviasud has built more than 200 Mistrals, it has also been built by Ultraleger Industria Aeronáutica Ltda in Brasil.
On May 4, 1987, an Aviasud Mistral was flown to the geographic North Pole by Nicolas Hulot, a world first for this type of aircraft.

One of the ULM who made me dream when I was a teenager. The others were Aviasud Sirocco , Butterfly and finally Aérolite Falcon
All except the Falcon were Belgian and the European importer for the Falcon was Belgian. At the time ultralight was seen like a big opportunity to develop popular aviation in Belgium and some industries. Sadly the authorities were not open minded and continued to invest in dying heavy industries.
 
The Falcon & Butterfly look great.
The Butterfly is a crazy looking tiny aircraft - wings based on the Flying Fle - luv them. It's not surprising that they made you dream.
Thanks for sharing the info.
 
Godwin von Brumowski was an ace from the Autro-Hungarian Air Force during the first world war. He was credited 35 air victories. He survived the war but was killed in an crash at Schiphol Airport near Amsterdam in June 1936.

The repaint was a challenge as according to most sources the red base scheme was covered with ocker coloured "Sworl" pattern. Brumowski flew several Albatrosses all slightly different and they all changed looks during their use. So there must have been one which looked like this one.

Brumowski flew Austrian built Albatrosses (OEFFAG), while the model by Stuart Green is an Eastern Germany version (OAW). But the were both based on the same original D.III and especially the earlier versions didn't differ too much. I intend to do a repaint for the CFS2 model by Captains Kurt, as this is the specific OEF model. (I'm really looking forward to another 2,000 Sworls....)

I used much information, which I was able to find on the internet and the Windsock Datafile 19 "Albatros D.III (OEF)" by P.M. Grosz.

After this one it might become a bit quiet from my side as Martin KLein and I will continue on a project we even started before the Fokker Dr.I.

Cheers,
Huub
