Hi Georgia As far as I know, the plaens came by boat to Europe. My Ercoupe (c/n 4765) arrived in 1947 and was registered to the sales agent in the Netherlands. In Belgium was another sales agent, who brought larger qts to Europe. I'm working on a listing (incl. full history) of all ever registered Ercoupes in Europe. In case you or any other list members have suggestions, questions etc, just let me know.
Kind regards Coert Munk BTW, it was possible to ferrt single engined aircraft over the North Atlantic. The usual route via Greenland, Iceland and Scotland was one of the most usual ones and is still in use. Some weeks ago, the last flying Douglas DC-2 (one built in 1935) was ferried via this route. ----- Original Message ----- From: Georgia Trehey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Coupers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 1999 4:29 AM Subject: RE: Coupes in Europe and South Africa > > Hi Folks, > > If this question is dumb, I apologize.
