CELAG exposes the SO-1221PS s/n FC1, first of the 11 pre-production aircraft delivered to the ALAT. This one shows a very specific anatomy with regards to the standards ones (cockpit, dashboard). This aircraft, which will be restored with standard parts, belonged to the Experimental Group of the ALAT from January 1956.
Bought by Restoration activity members in 1997, it unfortunately misses the majority of its components : turbine, tank, rotor, blades... It is very regrettable because it is the first prototype of this type (two-seater version), it has been transformed later into preproduction aircraft, and consequently equipped with materials different from the standard version. Its restoration, with standard equipments, will be start as soon as the known as these elements can be acquired.
