Ex KB124, DF387, ND209, 9125 and D-EJIG. Much modified in South Africa which included replacing the original 270hp Lycoming GO-480 engine with a 720HP Walter 601D Turboprop. While the new powerplant gave the aircraft plenty of power, it proved a handful to fly and the aircraft was seldom flown. In 2018 the aircraft was retrofitted with a Supercharged Lycoming GSO-480.
