Comet - Accident in Belgium

Sad news - on Thursday 29th August Comet OO-F67 crashed during landing at the airfield at Hannut - Avernas. The pilot Arthur Moureau was killed.

In 2012 Arthur kindly sent me news about his Comet and also some photos of the new colour scheme he had just applied to OO-F67.



Condolences to his family and friends.

New colour scheme for Comet OO-F67

Belgian Comet OO-F67 has now been repainted into a new colour scheme. This FK-12 Comet is c/n 20 and was delivered new in 1999 in the then standard yellow/blue colours with the side code "12".  The aircraft was originally delivered to a German customer as D-MPHM.

In 2007 this Comet was sold to a new owner in Belgium and based at the airfield at Hannut/Avernas-le-Bauduin.  The aircraft has recently ( Winter 2011/2012 ) been repainted in an attractive new yellow/white/black colour scheme with "Comet 12" side markings.



I'd like to thank Arthur for this FK-12 Comet news.

OO-GI2 - new colour scheme

FK-12 Comet OO-G12 c/n 057 was seen in October 2010 at Hannut-Avernas wearing a new colour scheme. This Comet was built from a factory supplied kit and was originally based at the ULM Oleronais club in France registered as "17-FK".





In 2008 this aircraft was sold to Belgium  and is now based at Hannut airfield. The new colour scheme includes "FK-12 Comet" titles next to the cockpit plus a checkered rudder - note that the Belgian registration is presented as "OOG-12" rather than the more normal "OO-G12"
