Apr. 05 Old Wright Brothers Plane Saved: This is the third Airoplane built by the Wright Brothers in the years shortly after they in 1903 made their first world famous flight. It lasted only 59 seconds. Researchers from the Danish Aalholm Automobile Museum, found the old aircraft in France. The owner of the museum, Baron J.O. Rabenlewetzau, was told by one of his research group that they had found the old aircraft in a farmers barn. The farmer wanted to get rid of it so the museum bought it. Later research showed that this plane was imported to France by the Wright Brothers in 1905 in order to sell airoplanes to the French government, But they refused to buy-they didn't believe in any future for the Wright-Brothers invention. Now the aircraft has been renewed with new canvas and engine, and will now go on exhibition in the museum
