This item is sold.
Notes
__An exceptional collection of prototypes were purchased by ?The New European? Collector, largely originating from two well-documented sources i.e. the auction of the property of Marcel Van Cleemput at Sotheby?s Auction House in 1999 and the Losch Auction House in Germany during 2000_.
Purchased at the Losch Auction House in 2000, this is a charming novelty prototype of a comic aeroplane finished in bright colours with intact ‘D’ labels at both sides. One of a kind!
Measures approx. 12.5 cms nose to tail. Note that the upper wing section is fixed to the uprights with ‘blu-tack’ or similar (probably as it was made at this prototype stage). Wheels are the same as used for the Magic Roundabout Citroen and the upper wing is from the Nipper Aircraft.
