ABOUT US

We are distributors, agents and brokers for new and used light aircraft, and we are sole UK distributor for both the Robin DR400 range and for the ALPHA 2 seat metal trainer and aerobatic sports planes manufactured by Alpha Aviation, NZ.

We have been UK distributors of Robin DR 400 “Robin” aircraft for 15 years, and for the ALPHA aircraft for the same period, as they originated in the Robin factory at Dijon.

As well as new aircraft we specialise as brokers in second-hand ROBINs and ALPHAs, and our very long experience of both types enables us to talk sensibly to both buyers and sellers.

ROBIN AIRCRAFT

Production of new ROBIN aircraft has resumed at Darois, under the new company name of ROBIN AIRCRAFT, the company being headed by Daniel Triques, long time Production Manager of the Robin factory. There are in place already a number of part finished fuselages and sets of wings, so delivery dates will be principally influenced by engine delivery time. In this respect the Centurion 2.0L and 2.0S engines are available on a considerably earlier lead time than Lycoming, which works well with the emphasis which is being placed on the Robin ECOFLYER.

We have a demonstrator ECOFLYER DR400/155 CDi here in the UK. Click the link on the right for full spec and to arrange a demo flight (serious buyers only please).

Future developments include glass cockpits for the higher Lycoming powered and diesel powered DR400s (within a 12 month time frame); a diesel glider tug (soon), and an updated DAUPHIN trainer with a new Lycoming engine.

ALPHA AIRCRAFT

The ALPHA 120 T basic trainer and ALPHA 160 aerobatic trainer/ private sportsplane were originally a French design , but since 2008 have been manufactured by Alpha Aviation NZ at Hamilton NZ . Alpha gives a full spares and airworthiness support to the ALPHA and its predecessors HR 200.

In mid 2009 Alpha Aviation NZ was bought by the PCL group, based in Hong Kong, and production of the new ALPHA 120 & 160 re-started in mid-2010.
