1973 Socata Rallye MS 880B

Description

In the car world, a classic is a vehicle over 30 years old. There will be someone who wants to connect with a different part of their life, who enjoys the simplicity of a Rallye MS880B. When they were launched, they were the de facto trainer in Europe, and they made up core memories for so many people. When the famous Socata demo pilot Maurice Serée demonstrated them at airshows, he could showcase the stability of it by flying it standing on the seat, and then landing on a roll of carpet just 20 metres long!

If you are after the same look and feel that you would have experienced in aviation from a different era, then the paint and interior will give you the immersive experience that you are flying something from a simpler time. The decals on the aircraft all seem original, which suggests EI-BFR is exactly as it left the factory in Tarbes in 1973. For someone with a hangar space and a desire to reconnect with a different era, or a past part of their flying logbook, this aircraft will certainly pull the heartstrings. We have been flying BFR quite a bit, and it's some of the best fun we've had in a long time.
