This Toucan was built in 1945 by Amiot in France and delivered to the Armee de l'Air as 053 (53?) and then, in November 1960, to the Forca Aerea Portuguesa as 6320. It was wfu in March 1967 and stored in Alverca being being transported to West Germany in 1975 and preserved at Fliegerhorst Hohn (ETNH) as 1Z-IK until 2019. The plane then went to Mönchengladbach (EDLN) for restoration but the project faltered and so it was transported by road to EDLE by the WDL Oldtimer Freunde society in April 2021.
