There was an article by its Danish owner about this aircraft in the Danish Vintage Aircraft Club's magazine some years ago, in which he wrote about his experiences with it. He also let it be known that he did not intend to fly it anymore, claiming as the main reason for this decision that the Danish CAA would not let him paint the aircraft in full German WW2 markings (which I personally doubt). Apparently it was also only rarely flown in later years in Denmark; I attended airshows regularly in Denmark from 1982 to 1990 and never saw it. Bearing in mind that only about 10 "genuine" Bf108's survive, I sincerely hope that very good care is taken of this aircraft until it is sold, and that it goes to an owner mindful of its rarity, who would not contemplate putting a Lycoming in it (it still has an Argus engine).
