Hallo Herr Ralf. Thanks for asking. I am sorry to answer you in English, but I don't speak German. I have no more information than what was said in my family that he was the engineer in this project. I now understand that there was a group of persons who developed this airplane. Unfortunately my grandfather isn't mentioned in this group so I don't know how much he was involved in the project. kind regards Peter

In Halle gibt es Vorbereitungsrecherchen für eine Ausstellung zu den Siebel-Flugzeugwerken. Ich bin fue jede Info dankbar. Gibt es irgendwo noch eine in Halle produzierte Maschine in einem Museum oder bei einem Sammler ?

I would also like to know anything and everything about this aircraft, since it is said in my family that it´s my grandfather, the engineer Arthur Beth ( 1895-1968 ) who is the constructor of it. I don´t mind if someone knows better than I and gives me another name for the construction, I prefer the truth :)

First flown as the Flugzeugbau Halle Fh 104 Hallore this was the first original design to come from this Klemm subsidiary. It is doubtful if it was ever known as the "Klemm Fh104 Hallore". The aircraft did, as noted, only achieve a modest production of 46 but it did achieve notable success. It won the 1938 Littorio Rally in Italy covering some 3,583 miles across 12 countries. In addition, in March 1939 it completed 24,480 mile tour of Africa.

Reading Captain Eric Browns (CBE DSC AFC RN) book "Wings On My Sleeve" I recall the aircraft in question (Siebel 204) was used as a personal runabout after WW2 whilst he was working as a test pilot for the Royal Aircraft Establishment UK.

I would like to know anything interesting trivia about the Siebel aircraft, as my granfather owned Siebelflugzeugwerke. I am a private pilot and often wonder what it would be like to fly one of the Siebel aircraft.

The (I think worldwide) famous known Beate Uhse escaped, after her husband had died in war, with her son, nurse and four other persons in a Siebel FH 104 from Gatow to Travemünde in western part of Germany. That was on 22nd of April 1945; she had been a very good pilot and had been working as a pilot during the war.
