Please can you help with some information about this a/c and its history. Seen here acting as one of the ‘bad guys’ at Shoreham 2008.

Oops! Just read the G_INFO more thoroughly and saw that it was built in 1951

Thanks. I believe that one of these was ‘imported’ by a couple of chaps escaping from France. Was this it?

Built by Nord, but I seem to recall reading somewhere that she has genuine German parts…

Yes, that’s a Nord 1002 Pingouin II G-ETME, construction number 274, formerly N108J, F-BFRV and French Air Force.
Used to fly in a desert-type camouflage with code KG+EM

Believe owned by the 108 Flying Group at Wycombe Air Park.

Hope this helps,
Alan
