Description: this factory fresh Scintex Emeraude was on June 21 1958 registered as "OO-ANA" to Club National d' Aviation, established on June 28 1932 and based at Charleroi airport. On April 15 1965 it was re-registered "OO-VOR" for a private user (E. Vormzele) basing it at Brasschaat airfield, followed by another private user (A. Bral) basing it at Grimbergen airfield. In 1969 it went to a third private user (M. Van Tilburg) basing it again at Brasschaat airfield. On March 15 1977 it was cancelled from the register. It reappeared as "OO-VOP" on March 10 1981 for General Aviation Club based at Antwerp airport and arrived there on January 2 1982. Later that year on October 17 it was damaged but repaired with the wings of another Emeraude "OO-LVC", here depicted in a livery without titles. Since 1989 it was stored at Antwerp airport and on March 12 1999 auctioned to a private user (J. Thiers), later that year it was transported to the residence of the owner at Brasschaat and was slowly restorated at the local airfield there. In 2003 the Koninklijke Aeroclub van Brasschaat became the owner continuing the restoration process. After the job was done it's since July 2 2007 registered to Flying Aces Services & Training based at Antwerp airport.
