[edit]DescriptionRumpler Taube ‘START’ (49522349818).jpg |
c/n 60 Built 1912 by Rumpler in Germany The Taube was the first military aeroplane to be mass-produced in Germany, although it was designed and originally produced by Austrian Igo Etrich. Some 70 were built in total. This floatplane example became the last genuine Taube to fly under its own power, in June 1922, when it celebrated the tenth anniversary of its own first flight. After a long period in storage, it is now on display in a controlled environment as part of the Flysamlingen Forsvarets Museer (Norwegian Armed Forces Aircraft Collection). Oslo Gardermoen, Norway. 26th May 2019 The following information is from the museum website:- On April 19, 1912, the newspapers wrote that Swedish Lieutenant Dahlbeck would come to Norway and fly. Among other things, he would fly over the Navy's main base Karljohansvern in Horten. Some marine officers in Horten liked this badly just seven years after the dissolution of the union with Sweden. They decided to do something about the case and that same night, Premier Løitnant Hans F. Dons went to Germany to learn how to fly. Soon after, officers began raising money for the purchase of planes and to cover the Dons' education. Several conditions meant that this education did not go so well, but planes were purchased and after ten trips with an instructor and three on their own, dons returned to Norway at the end of May without a certificate. However, there was no major obstacle at the time. In Germany, dons bought a plane, a Taube with building number 60, for funds collected by the Norwegian naval officers, most of them his colleagues on the submarine "Kobben". The aircraft was shipped to Horten, where it arrived on May 28, 1912. After installation, the machine was given the name "Start". On June 1, 1912, a historic event took place; first official Norwegian flight with a Norwegian pilot a Norwegian plane in Norway. After some flights, the machine was transferred to the Ministry of Defence on July 31, 1912, with effect from August 1 and under the condition of it to be used by the Navy. It was thereby the first military aircraft in Norway. "Start" crashed several times during the service but was rebuilt. After an extensive crash on August 26, 1915, "Start" flew only once, on June 1, 1922 in connection with the tenth anniversary of the first flight. The aircraft type was constructed by Austrian Igor Etrich, and the aircraft collection's copy is built under license by German Rumpler Luftfahrzeugbau GmbH in Johannisthal near Berlin. It first flew May 15, 1912. The first Taube flew in 1910, and until 1913 Rumpler built about 70 Taube in several varieties. Taube set several records and attracted attention in much of Europe. The type was adopted by German Fliegertruppen des deutschen Kaiserreiches as reconnaissance aircraft and was in service at the outbreak of the First World War. After many years of storage, "Start" was restored to Norwegian flight's 50th anniversary in 1962. It was then exhibited for many years in the Norwegian Technical Museum in Oslo before arriving at the Air Collection in the autumn of 2001. "Start" is now on display in the museum's special climate zone.” |
