Sergio Barlocchetti published the following letter in Pilot magazine in England. We are happy to make this space available to promote this event, and we will be posting more information on the event as Sergio supplies it. So watch this space for more news. Alfred Scott I'm Sergio, of Volare Magazine. I'm also the nephew of the past Procaer CEO, Mrs Vignola, and the builder Rico Neff (who died in 2006). Now I'm trying to contact every Picchio owner, to set up the half-century anniversary F.15 meeting next year, (first flight 1959, 50th year 2009), in Milan Bresso (at Limb, where the factory was). The meeting will be for pre-series F.15A - F.15B - F.15C - all metal F.15D, prototypes F.15F, and Hoac - Sokol Excaliber. However I cannot say how many F.15s are still flying in the UK to invite owners and fix the dates. No problem from France, Germany, Belgium, Avorian Coast, South Africa, USA. (I provide spare parts for them, by giving original drawings). Please could you help me? If you want, I can provide a full story of this aeroplane, made from wood and peraluman (which is magnesium and aluminium alloy), and the mysterious jet version F.400 Cobra and F.480 four-seater.
