History[edit]
Patrick Garland and Doug Bianchi built a version of the French Piel Emeraude light aircraft that would meet British airworthiness requirements.[1] Named the Garland-Bianchi Linnet it was built at White Waltham Airfield and first flown on 1 September 1958 from Fairoaks Airfield.[1] The Garland Aircraft Company was formed to put the Linnet into production.[1] The company built two Linnets, although the second was not completed and it was sold to Fairtravel Limited to continue production as the Fairtravel Linnet II.[1]
