Alouette Constructed Continental Cubs Elements Later Members Piper Powered Re Named Replaced Aero Club
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Badez-Giraud-Mercier Bagimer II Alouette F-PFAR (msn 01), a remarkable homebuilt aircraft constructed in the 1950s. The Bagimer was an innovative design that initially utilized elements from Piper Cubs, powered by a 75hp Minie 4C2 engine. However, the engine was later replaced with a 65hp Continental A65 engine, and the aircraft was renamed Bagimer II. The image captures the sleek and agile appearance of the Bagimer II, with its distinctive wings and tail fin. The open cockpit allows for an unobstructed view of the pilot, who is intently focused on the horizon. The aircraft's registration number, F-PFAR, is clearly visible on the fuselage. The Bagimer II was the second aircraft of its kind to be built, with the first one constructed by the same team of enthusiasts from the Aero-club de Pithiviers. The club's members, who were not affiliated with the Bagimer company, showcased their exceptional engineering skills and passion for aviation through the creation of this remarkable aircraft. Despite its impressive design and innovative use of Piper Cub components, the Bagimer II was not intended for commercial use. Instead, it represented the spirit of adventure and ingenuity that defined the golden age of homebuilt aircraft. This photograph is a testament to the dedication and creativity of its builders and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of aviation history.
