One of the first if not the first VP ever built after the plans were put up for sale. Built early 70's and still flying today.

Here is an article about G BAAD

Evans VP1 Reg G-BAAD
The Evans VP1 was designed in California by Bud Evans as a simple to build light aircraft at low cost, available to the man in the street, the prototype first flying in 1969.

G-BAAD was built by Richard Husband and completed in 1973, with its first flight in February, winning the PFA Air Squadron Trophy in that year.

G-BAAD cost £500 in total and was constructed over a 2 year period. Originally flown at Netherthorpe airfield, it was initially fitted with what was thought to be a Continental engine A40, but had an unusual Czech imported engine fitted – a 45 HP Persey II. This was replaced in 1989 with a VW 1600 cc engine rated at 40 HP at 3200 rpm. The current 1835 cc VW engine was fitted in January 2003. This gives the aircraft a much needed extra power and an increase rate of climb from around 300 fpm to 500 fpm.

The aircraft is maintained on a “Permit to Fly” which allows the group members to carry out all our own repairs under the guidance of a PFA inspector.

This allows the aircraft to be run with the lowest possible cost.

This aircraft is non-aerobatic, i.e. loops, flick rolls, spinning are strictly prohibited.

Took this picture at the Gauteng champs at FASI. The Pilot came in almost over my head for his spot landing exercise in very windy conditions.
