Eklund TE-1 – magazines

Hello!

I’m reserching phases of this Finnish home-build aircraft. Eklund TE-1 is the smallest flying boat in the world and it was build in the 1950’s. Apparently there is few magazine articles about this aircraft in english:

Flypast August 1985 (#49)
Sport Aviation May 1958
Poznavame Leteckou Techniku 9/1960

If someone could give me a hand on these and scan an article or two, I would be happy the rest of the year. :p
