Ce Wassmer WA 52 Europa - F-BUKO
Difficile d'en savoir plus sur ce 102e appareil de ce type.
Son dernier propriétaire, l'Aéro clob Cadarache Provence, relate dans son histoire l'achat de cet appareil au constructeur après 1972.
Durant sa période au sein du club, il a servi à l’école de pilotage.
On sait également que l'appareil a été radié des contrôles le 22 novembre 1982, donné comme détruit.

Son emplacement actuel
Ancien garage automobile, l'endroit est devenue la Fourrière Automobile Zeblah et fils. Était-il mal garé quelque part ? A t-il été remorqué par erreur ? Impossible de le savoir aujourd'hui.
