EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the third prototype of the Simmering-Graz-Pauker M-222 Flamingo OE-VEC, manufactured by the Austrian aircraft company Simmering-Graz-Pauker A.G. The M-222 Flamingo, with the registration number OE-VEC and manufacturing serial number 3, was built in the early 1960s, around 1963. This particular prototype, unfortunately, was later scrapped, likely in 1964. The M-222 Flamingo was a versatile, twin-engine, multi-role aircraft, designed for various applications including reconnaissance, training, and light transport. Its distinctive appearance, with its high-wing configuration and tailfin bearing the distinctive "flamingo" logo, made it a striking sight in the skies. The aircraft in this image is seen taxying on a runway, with its engines idling and propellers slowly turning. The crew, dressed in aviator helmets and jumpsuits, are visible on the ground, preparing for the next stage of the flight test program. The aircraft's wings are adorned with various sensors and equipment, indicating the extensive testing and evaluation underway. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the aeronautical world of the 1960s, showcasing the intricacies of aircraft design, engineering, and testing. Despite the eventual scrapping of this prototype, the M-222 Flamingo left a lasting impact on the aviation industry, paving the way for future advancements in aircraft technology and design.
