08/31/2012. Remarks by Walter van Tilborg: "This one-of-a-kind homebuilt aircraft had a somewhat chequered career was produced by René Estival and Jean Domecq in Morocco during the late 1950s and was first flown as the
ED-3 on June 17, 1959, registered F-PJDO (c/n 01). It was essentially a much rebuilt pre-war Léopoldoff Colibri with an enclosed cockpit, shortened equal length wings, and a 65 hp Continental A-65 engine. Retrospectively the aircraft was also referred to as the ED-3 No. 1.

The aircraft was seriously damaged in an accident in 1962 and was extensively rebuilt by Estival. It was fitted with 90 hp Continental C-90 engine and slightly shortened wings. Redesignated ED-3B and reregistered F-POIN (c/n 2) it flew again on July 30, 1967. The aircraft was also referred to as the ED-3 No. 2, it went into storage in 1989, and on August 10, 1992 it was sold to Alain Gourio.

Subsequently the aircraft was sold to Michel Boudigues who modified the aircraft to resemble a WW I biplane. Modifications included an 100 hp Continental O-200-A engine with the cylinders now protruding the cowl, the cockpit canopy was removed, and it received a grey paint scheme with military markings. The modified aircraft flew again on June 19, 1998, reregistered F-PLMB (c/n 04.98) as Boudigues Léopoldoff LMB. Circa 2006 it was painted red, with other military markings.
