Description: this factory fresh Sportavia RF-4D was on May 28 1968 registered to Aéroclub des Ardennes, established on March 22 1958 and based at St Hubert airfield, here seen such with a small logo of the club on its fuselage and a sticker promoting Sabena as well (see upper left inset). Later in 1981 it went to a private user (J. Peeters) basing its airframe at Budel airfield (the Netherlands). On November 9 1988 it moved on to Nooyen pvba basing it initially at the same airfield, later Kiewit airfield. Its CofA did expire on April 30 2002 but was in 2004 restorated by Raymond's Aircraft Restoration and is still current with the last operator.
