Dear World !!

Here are a couple pictures of the work in progress...

The name is derived from its original design group, Atelier technique aéronautique de Rickenbach near Lindau within the French Occupation Zone of Germany. The Atar powered many of the French post-war jet aircraft, including the Vautour, Super Mystère and the prototype of the Mirage.

Lots of furniture are currently in the works...
