Julien Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 The MBB 223 Flamingo was a light aircraft developed in West Germany in the 1960s in response to a competition for a standard trainer for the country's aeroclubs. Designed by SIAT, it was a conventional low-wing monoplane with fixed tricycle undercarriage. The cockpit was enclosed by a large bubble canopy. SIAT had not undertaken much production of the type before the firm was acquired by MBB in 1970. Eventually, the new owners transferred production to CASA in Spain. They were used by the military in Turkey, Switzerland, and Syria. Pics thanks to Sergey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
