A mini armada of eight FK-12 Comets flew to the UK last weekend flying into the airfield at Fowlmere near Cambridge. The Pilots and passengers flew to the UK to attend the Flying Legends warbird airshow held at nearby Duxford. Among the eight was the "Monster Comet" D-MXZZ

The Comets that flew to Fowlmere, UK were,

D-MCVW, D-MEJH, D-MOKU, D-MOND, D-MTAP, D-MVCW(2), D-MXZZ and OO-F77.

The Monster Comet is powered by a UL Power 350is engine uprated to produce approx 140HP. The engine is fully aerobatic with fuel injection. This machine first flew in October 2014 and is based at Giessen, Lutzellinden ( EDFL ). A second Monster Comet is currently in production.

"Comet Angel" D-MEJH visits the UK

Every summer the superb Flying Legends warbird display at Duxford, UK  attracts visiting aircraft and pilots from Europe. Many of these land at the nearby airfield of Fowlmere.

This year among the visitors to Fowlmere was FK-12 Comet D-MEJH c/n 70.  I'd like to thank Ken Ede for supplying the photo below - note that this Comet now has female artwork and a name "Comet Angel" just behind the cockpit.

UPDATE - August 2010 - Hans-Peter the owner of Comet D-MEJH has sent this close up photo showing the "Comet Angel" artwork on his FK-12 - many thanks
