The aim of the VLBI experiment was a search for the occurrence of subarc- second microwave emission centres as tracers of the initial energy release in solar flares. The observations extended over the period April 28 to May 3, 1981 and were performed with the 25 m telescopes at Onsala (Sweden) and Dwingeloo (Netherlands) at a wavelength of 18 cm (1663 MHz). The baseline was 619 km long giving a minimum angular width of the interference fringes of 0.06’. This corresponds to a spatial scale of 40 km at the solar disc centre.
