This 1951 Pingouin (essentially a Nord-built Messerschmitt Bf 108) appears to have been directly civil registered as F-BGVD(2). In 1965 it was re-registered in Belgium as OO-GVD. In 1973 it was exported to the USA as N108R but immediately re-exported to Canada as C-GRIT. Painted in the WWII colours of Franz Stigler and named ‘Grit’ after the owner’s wife. Sold to Australia and registered VH-HUN on 16 November 1999, re-registered VH-OFS in 2006.
