Purice's Penultimate Record Holder

Condor 2

From   Model Avia, 1964

Notes :

The captions are my translations from the French.

The IOR 2.5 cc diesel is a copy of the German Webra Mach I. It was made in Romania by I.O.R.
a state run optical equipment manufacturer. The initials are (approximately)
"Industria Optica Romania"

These record flights in Eastern Europe were usually chased by a state aero club aircraft.
The chase aircraft verified the altitude and, possibly, the time aloft.

Steffan Purice also competed in C/L speed. He and his wife Elvira were both contestants at
the C/L world champs at Budaors, Hungary. After the record setting flight noted in the drawing
above, Purice set the existing altitude and duration record for helicopters in 1963 and 1965.
