This photograph showcases the Orlican L-40 Meta-Sokol G-APVU (msn 150706) at Kidlington Airfield on May 18, 1960. The Orlican L-40 Meta-Sokol, a Czechoslovakian single-engine, two-seat advanced trainer and light transport aircraft, is seen taxing on the grass runway. Its sleek and modern design, with its distinctive tail fin and wing configuration, exudes an air of sophistication and technical prowess. The Meta-Sokol was renowned for its advanced avionics and excellent flying characteristics, making it a popular choice among flying schools and private pilots. The aircraft's registration number, G-APVU, is clearly visible on its fuselage, indicating its importation to the United Kingdom. The photograph captures a moment in aviation history, as the Meta-Sokol represented the cutting edge of aviation technology in the early 1960s. The serene atmosphere at Kidlington Airfield, with the Meta-Sokol as the focal point, adds to the overall sense of tranquility and wonder. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and allure of aviation, and serves as a reminder of the thrill and excitement that comes with flying.
