Photo Comment

A D-K*** registration indicates that it is equipped with an engine. Nevertheless it is seen here on a towed take-off without using its engine. The reason is that it is a 20hp Solo 2350 sustainer engine that is not powerful enough to be used for take-off. It was originally registered as D-KDAH, next it went to the UK in Jan-2004 as BGA5071 and becoming G-CKGB in Jan-2006. In Mar-2019 it went back to Germany as D-KKGB.
