Gabriel Bros
Poland
Brothers Paweł and Jan Gabriel from Bydgoszcz began building gliders already before World War One. In 1921 they built diminutive plane P.V (wingspan: 5 m, length: 4 m) inspired by Fokker E.V, first flown in 1921. Encouraged by its good quality designed several larger aircraft, largely inspired by Fokker D.VII. Of these only one, P.VI was actually built and flown in 1924. Although very good plane, it unfortunately didn’t get any orders, leading brother to lose interest in aviation.

The company was incorpo¬rated into SPRL in July 1981, at which time Fulmar Ultralight Diffusion not only made single seater and two seater trikes using Robin 244, 333 and 432cc engines under wings of their own design and manufacture, but also built Weedhoppers on behalf of the European dealer Media Systems. 50 machines were built in this way.
