Production of this Ae-45 began in 1951 but was not completed till 1956. Initially it served the Regional Aeroclub Ostrava as an air taxi. By the time of this photo, a glider tow hook had been fitted and on one occasion - possibly the reason for this Customs stop at Southend - it came to England to tow gliders 1,400kms back to Czechoslovakia. In 1978 it was transferred to the Slovacky Aeroclub in Kunovice but was de-registered in 1980. Now preserved at the Letecké Muzeum Kunovice.
