The Satzenbrau Beer Bottle is a Colt 56 built in 1981, The Bottle is one of the earliest shapes made before the days of computer software. So the design is quite different inside to what would be found with todays shapes, there is no nomex or baffling.
One of the early Flying Pictures shapes. Pilot Graham Elson took the bottle over to Ireland to fly in 1982.
