Reader Roland Poehlmann of Erlangen, Germany, provides this picture in response to our request for news of 40-year-old veterans still flying. D-ELIS is a Comte AC-4B (c\n 34), first registered in September 1930 as CH-262 and flown later as HB-IKO before being sold to Germany. A 140 hp AS Genet Major now replaces the original ADC Cirrus Hermes. Owned by Herr F Dioszeghi, the AC-4B is based at Bamberg, has a red finish with silver cowl and carries advertising slogans for Motorola Sprechfunk.

This year is Swissair's 50th anniversary and the company has marked the occasion with the restoration of the Comte AC-4 HB-IKO. This historic aircraft was originally registered to the Swiss airline Ad Astra as CH 262 in September 1930. The company was taken over by Swissair in 1931 and the AC-4 remained in service until 1938. After many years in Germany, as D-ELIS, the aircraft was bought back by Swissair in 1979 and restored by the Fokker Team, a group of retired Swissair employees. The Comte is airworthy and at present based at Kloten, Zurich
