Piel Emeraude

The Piel CP-30 Emeraude is an aircraft designed in France in the mid-1950s and widely built both by factories and homebuilders. It is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed tailwheel undercarriage and side-by-side seating for two. The prototype was designed and built by Claude Piel who then licenced manufacture of the aircraft to a number of firms most significantly Coopavia. These early production machines were similar to the prototype but were fitted with more powerful engines.

His aircraft (G-AZGY) is a Piel Emeraude, which he "rescued" in 2004.1
