This weird looking aircraft was built by Eidgenoessische Konstruktionswerkstaette (EKW) as C3603, delivered to the Flugwaffe on 14 April 1944 and modified to C3605-standard (the original 12 cylinder engine was replaced by a turbo prop) in 1971. The aircraft, seen here serving the Zielfliegerkorps (glider corps) was withdrawn from use on 15 July 1987. It was offered for sale later that year and seen engineless with the Jordacier-factory in Bex (Switserland) in late 1988.
