This Grunau Baby did not serve with the Swedish air force. It is a former flying club example, but preserved to represent one of 31 Se 102 Grunau Babies that were operated by the Swedish air force from 1942.

The plane on display was produced by Petera in 1944 and was flown in 1944/1945 by a Nazi Fliegersturm (flying unit) near Wolfratshausen, just south of Munich. It escaped destruction and after the war was initially used by the occupying forces. After a crash in 1952 it was refurbished and rebuilt. It was among the first gliders to be certified for use in Germany in 1952 when the Allied ban was lifted, and was flown until 1971. In the years 1989-1992 it was restored by the Deutsches Museum and the Werftverein (the association dedicated to preserving the Flugwerft)
