This Z-37 was built in Kunovice and first flew in September, 1968, after which it was handed over to Agrarflug, the agricultural division of Interflug. It later received the newer DDR-SNK registration and was withdrawn from service in 1984 with an extended lifetime of 7,280 hours. The aircraft was flown to the museum in April 1984 and placed on display. Due to its poor condition, it was withdrawn in 2011 and earmarked for restration. From 2021-2022, this aircraft was completely refurbished and in July 2022 rejoined the display, looking resplendent in its 1968 scheme. This photo is copyright © Alastair T.
