It's not that we know everything about her now, but since some weeks we have opened Lola's history book... Together with Kenneth - a nephew from the first owner who flew himself hundreds of hours with Lola, Pieter -from Sabena's flight club in Brussels - and Heiko - the former owner of Lola, we got together little parts of the puzzle... It started in 1972. And while she was looking very different (with orange and gold shades), she flew around in the US and Canada, accompanied for twenty years by Uncle Walter. When being sold, she suddenly - we don't know the full story yet - ended up in ... Grimbergen. (What a coincidence - the place where I learn to fly...). She flew her owner from Belgium to Switserland, while he organised the Eurovision. We just knew she was a star... Thanks to Heiko, we discovered some cool old pictures - with the original colors. Joerg even thought they were tricked...
Thanks Kenneth, Pieter & Heiko for the photos and the small, but wonderfull anecdotes! Joerg really enjoyed the birthday present - which became an unaffordable little history book ;-) - thanks to you all!
And to the rest reading this; H-E-L-P!
There's so many things we don't know yet...
A bottle of champaign for the one who comes with old pictures or who finds the man who flew her over the Atlantic. A flight with Lola if you can find both ;-)
Thanks, Annelies
