EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, five Saab 91B Safir aircraft (F-BHAG, F-BHAH, F-BHAI, F-BHAJ, and F-BHAK) of Aeroclub Air France are parked next to each other at Biggin Hill Airport in 1959. The Saab 91B Safir with registration number F-BHAK (msn 91298) is the focus of the image, as it sits proudly among its siblings. Established in 1955, Aeroclub Air France was the French branch of the Swedish Saab Aeroplan Aktie Bolaget (Svenska Aeroplan Aktie Bolaget), which manufactured the Saab 91 Safir. The club purchased five 91B Safirs for its members to use for training and recreational flying. The Saab 91B Safir was a versatile and popular aircraft in the 1950s and 1960s, known for its advanced design and excellent performance. The aircraft in the photograph are all in their prime, showcasing their sleek lines and elegant curves. The image captures a moment in aviation history, as these aircraft, with their distinctive Saab insignia, gather at Biggin Hill Airport. The photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Saab 91B Safir and the camaraderie of the Aeroclub Air France community. The Saab 91B Safir was a significant aircraft in the post-war era, and its presence at Biggin Hill Airport in 1959 underscores the importance of general aviation in the development of civil aviation. The photograph is a valuable historical record of a time when flying was an adventure, and the Saab 91B Safir was a symbol of innovation and progress.
