Some 'new' aircraft at Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome September 23, 2001
1948 Stampe SV4C
The aircraft pictured above is Gene DeMarco's 'new' Stampe SV 4. As you can see it is beautiful. Gene won the toilet paper cutting exhibition again on September 23, 2001 (Four cuts). He was competing with the Tiger Moth and I believe the Fleet.
The Stampe was a Belgium built aircraft but was flown in many countries.
