Wilco Aviation is delighted to present for sale this exceptional Fournier RF4D, registration G-AVWY.
Currently hangared at Breighton Airfield, Yorkshire, viewings are available strictly by appointment.

The Fournier RF4D is a distinguished single-seat touring motor glider designed by the renowned French aeronautical engineer René Fournier. Introduced in 1966 as an aerobatic development of the RF3, the RF4D features an all-wood airframe, celebrated for its elegant lines, low drag profile, and outstanding handling characteristics.

Engineered for versatility, the RF4D is fully aerobatic within prescribed limits, making it as at home in the box as it is on a cross-country glide. Its powerplant is the robust and reliable Rectimo AR16 1600, a modified Volkswagen engine known for its efficiency and ease of maintenance.

Distinctive features include:

Monowheel retractable undercarriage, forward-retracting into a streamlined fibreglass fairing

Steerable tailwheel and wing-mounted outrigger wheels for stable ground handling

All-wood construction with fabric-covered control surfaces, providing lightweight agility and excellent flight characteristics

Manually operated brake on the mainwheel

G-AVWY is a particularly notable example of the type. Once one of only three RF4Ds that comprised the legendary Skyhawks formation display team, this aircraft holds a special place in British aerobatic history. Lovingly maintained and presenting in excellent condition, it offers a rare opportunity to acquire a true classic of light aviation.

Whether you’re seeking a graceful glider, a touring aircraft with spirit, or an aerobatic performer with pedigree, G-AVWY ticks every box.
