Description

A rare opportunity to purchase one of the only flying Safir s in the UK. The Safir has a triple design role of a trainer, tourer and aerobatic machine (+6,-3g) This 4 seater, 180 HP aircraft cruises at 110 knots with easy handling, this is enhanced by the addition of two Garmin G5 s and Garmin GNS 430. She spent her early years (1962-1983) in the Finnish Air Force before she was sold on for civilian use. She has plenty of space in the rear for passengers and luggage as the space was originally designed for transporting officers. The Safir was designed by Anders J Andersson who had also devised the Bestmann while working for Bucker hence the strong resemblance to the WWII era of the Bucker Bestmann. Another interesting quirk to this aircraft is the registration G-XCID, the UK s G prefix and then 91 in Roman numerals followed by a D for the Saab Safir 91D. The aircraft offers a lot as a whole, purchasing not only an aircraft to fly but a piece of European history.
