Spotted This DH-104 at nearby Wenningfeld airstrip,Germany (near the dutch border). Does anybody have an idea of its history? I know its c/n and it flew for Airwork in the 50’s but nothing more.

Potentially airworthy Doves/Devons:
DH 104-2B D-IKUR (c/n 4296, ex HB-LAR) stored in Soest/Bad Sassendorf in Germany. Apparently requires an (expensive) “Check 4” (equivalent to an airliner D-Check) in order to fly again but is hangared and otherwise in good condition (sources: “Flugzeug Classic” Mar and Nov 2005).
From an earlier thread.
And some addt. info.
04296
19? The aircraft was registered as G-AMEI.
19? The aircraft was re-registered as HB-LAR.
