Giorgos,

very interesting story about one of the pioneers but I feel it would better fit in the "The Rotorcraft History Channel" (that's forum #44). You might want to repost it there.

Thanks,

Juergen

PS: I had found a picture of SE-AEA some time ago, very nice and unique aircraft with ski landing gear!
