Nord 1002 on Stuttgard airport viewing terrace.

Bob Ogden in the reference book ‘Aviation Museums and Collections of Mainland Europe’ (Air Britain 2006),  entry for this aircraft is:

Nord 1002 Pingouin II, construction number 163.  Previous identities: 163 (military serial, but no Air Force noted), HB-OAR, (D-EHUX ntu), HB-OAR, D-EOAR, (D-EACS ntu), ‘D-EFAG’ false identity.  Status code PVX: public view with a false identity. 

Adds little, but with the information that some registrations were ntu (not taken up), the question in the opening post may well be answered.

Thank you, Laurence. Irritatingly, I no longer have my notes covering the period July 1974 – September 1975.

avion: I’m not sure about 1975 as I have no record then. There was a thread on this very same Key Forum started by Jetflap 28.12.2009. I’ll try a link to it:

https://www.key.aero/forum/historic-aviation/98971-historic-aircraft-at-frankfurt-airport

I wonder if it will work.

This was the collection sited both in the terminal and on the terrace outside. I see I ventured some identities at that time.

On 6.5.1979 in the terminal I noted, apart from the Nord 1002: Hütter 17a, Ju52/3m D-CIAS, Me163 “54”, Me262, Rhönbaby.

Laurence, were they there in 1975? I visited Frankfurt that summer and seem to recollect seeing a collection of vintage aeroplanes displayed on the public terrace of the airport. I also remember attracting the attention of die polizei as I worked my way along the fence to the GA area of the airport. They didn’t seem to understand the concept of ‘plane spotting!

I saw the Nord 1002 on display in Frankfurt terminal in May 1979. I did not see any identity on it. There were 6 aircraft in all.

Oh and yes it is supposed to be still there…

http://axis.classicwings.com/ gives it as Nord 1002 c/n 163 ‘D-EFAG’ and previously HB-OAR, D-EHUX, D-EAOR,D-EACS formerly at Frankfurt (where I saw it) and Berlin.
