They built up a small fleet of 262's from parts made in their own factories during the war. The aircraft were officially called Avia S.92's, with a two seat trainer version being the CS.92. I believe that they operated about a dozen or so of these aircraft, with the last official flight being in May, 1951. Not officially a -262, but in spirit, most definitely!! Still, it's very exciting to know that another of the breed has finally flown again... I really hope they make the airshow circuit!

Cheers,
Richard
