UPDATE :
Last May, the Turbulent prototype has been put back in storage; wings and engine are disassembled.
My dad feels that now he is too old to fly it (85 yo).
It will not fly again except if someone else somewhere is motivated enough to take over from him.

I put D3 D31 to attract all Turbulent lovers ;).
This Turbulent , numbered n°58, is in fact is the prototype of the D3 and has been built in '52. Roger Druine was an industrial drawer and he used "liasse #58" to draw the plane, hence its number.
My dad is now 84 and still flies regularly with it today. He acquired it in '64, after buying it second hand (or third) in non flying condition from aéroclub de Sceaux. After crashing it in 1972, he restaured it 45 years later, hence 4 years ago, and it flies like a charm !
Thanks to all the viewers for stopping by and watch this video; you are making an 84 y.o happy ;), he often comes here to see how many times it is viewed.
