req: Casa 212 @ Igualada, Spain

Post by frank kramer »

When driving on the A2 motorway from Barcelona to Zaragoza and back, we saw a rather dilapidated C212 as a preserved plane at Igualada Aerodrom (50 km nw of Barcelona). Also, two AT802 Air Tractors coded 82 and 84. Anyine for their identities?

Found it myself... It's ex- Cuatro Vientos T.12B-16/74-71, and it is indeed in a sorry state:

We stopped at the airfield and met the CASA owner. He is going to make the aircraft presentable for static display purposes at the future museum at Sabadell. He also owns the Ro37 that was discovered in Afghanistan some time ago. Besides he has two Harvards, four choppers and the earliest still flyable I-115 with c/n 23. He also owns the three MiGs at Cervera/St Pere dels Arquells.
The Air Tractors were EC-LHJ/82 and EC-LMV/84.
