VH-ULI  Druine D.31 Turbulent                     (c/n  PFA/447)

                               

                                     The Turbulent was designed by the late Roger Druine in France in the 1940s.   It was, I believe the
                                     second ultra light design to be approved by the (then) Dept. of Civil Avitaion, the first being the Stits
                                     Flut-R-Bug.   Since then several have been constructed from kits in Australia.  Geoff Goodall took
                                     this photo of VH-ULI as it sat in its little compound at Warracknabeal, Victoria in April1967.   The
                                     photo below is from the CAHS collection.
