Lance adds:
Plane is painted overall in beige tone; this is not clear doped linen. All metal fittings painted mid gray. All wood booms and struts with light fabric tapes. Note strange thick spar in wings and laced breaks in wing surfaces. Ribs very pronounced, on both top and bottom surfaces, perhaps 2-3 cm from surface. Undercarriage of steel, painted gray. Note Éclair propeller logo.

Photos by Len Smith, 1996

Len notes:
One general look, another showing some of the rigging detail and a look into the cockpit. Note the difference in seating comfort.

Mike adds: Like the Soesterburg museum in NL, this is another museum that lets you get pretty close to the airplanes without much trouble.
