EVENTS
Clin d’Ailes regularly organizes special thematic days, conferences and original presentations at the Museum.
Much has been said about Failloubaz (1892-1919) “le gamin volant (the flying boy)”. “He is perhaps the best known, but he is the one we have the fewest documents about. He died young,” regrets Fred Graf. In 1910, at the age of 17«Failloub» made the first flight in Switzerland from Avenches to Payerne with an airplane by René Grandjean, another pioneer and manufacturer who lived longer (1884-1963). Georges Cailler (1890-1938) is probably the least known of the three regional aviators. The heir to the chocolate maker built three planes.
Jean-Charles Lauper and his accomplices collected many items belonging to the aviation trio, rare documents such as the original Grandjean license, his military service booklet or the original seat of his plane. Nuggets that will be on view at the Clin d’Ailes Museum in the coming months. “We have more than 2500 documents, photographs or objects in our possession that belonged to these three famous figures,” smiles Jean-Charles Lauper, who is happy to be able to show some of these treasures during this exhibition.
