Description: this second hand Wassmer was on February 6 1979 registered to Aéroclub Sanicole established on December 30 1970 and based at Beverlo airfield, here seen at its home base in a livery without titles inhereted from its previous Dutch operator(s). In the summer of 1982 it was seen in an updated livery still without titles. On July 29 1988 it was damaged when it hit the door of a hangar when performing an engine run test at Kiewit airfield. Afterwards it was not repaired and went to a private user (F. Smolders) who stored it at his property in Schilde (Belgium). After he passed away it was in May 2003 transported by road to a hangar of Styl Aviation at Antwerp airport where the trace of this airframe ends. On May 11 2020 it was cancelled from the register.
