The Fournier RF7 prototype — the only one ever built — is being rebuilt.
The RF7 was never certified. Only one was built as a production aircraft — this one, serial no. 1, c/n 7001 — while two more were built later from kits. It was first registered as D-EHAP in Germany, then as G-EHAP in the UK from June 1979, became G-LTRF in December 1997, later carried the German registration D-EJRF, and is now back on the UK register as G-EHAP. Correction: the RF7 page previously described D-EJRF as a separate, still-flying amateur-built aircraft — that was wrong; it is this same airframe. The full story of the type, and the two kit-built examples (F-PSIR and F-PYPL, serial no. 3), is on the RF7 page.
Photographs of the airframe through its life and marks — G-EHAP at Leicester (1980) and Henstridge (1982), G-LTRF at Cranfield (2002), and D-EJRF at Staverton (2024), shortly before its return to the UK register. These are already held on the RF7 page; photographs of the rebuild itself are very welcome.
A rudder from the de-registered RF4D G-AVWZ has been used in the rebuild — see G-AVWZ on the register.
