EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Nord 1002 Pingouin G-ATBG, a post-war French production of the Messerschmitt Bf 108, manufactured by Nord Aviation. The Bf 108, also known as the "Tiger Moth of Europe," was a popular design in its class, renowned for its versatility and reliability. In this image, the Nord 1002 Pingouin, with its distinctive red and white livery, is seen taxing on the tarmac. The aircraft's sleek lines and streamlined design are evident, as is the proudly displayed French flag on the vertical stabilizer. The Nord 1002 was powered by French engines, a departure from the original German engines used in the Messerschmitt Bf 108. This adaptation was part of the post-war French aviation industry's efforts to reduce reliance on foreign technology. The Nord 1002 Pingouin was a versatile aircraft, capable of various roles, including training, liaison, and even light transport. Its open cockpit configuration allowed for excellent visibility and a direct connection to the elements, making it an ideal choice for flight training. The aircraft's robust design and ease of handling made it a favorite among pilots and aviation enthusiasts. This photograph, captured circa 1973, offers a glimpse into the rich history of post-war French aviation and the country's commitment to innovation and self-sufficiency in the realm of aeronautical transportation. The Nord 1002 Pingouin, with its French engines, stands as a testament to this era and the enduring allure of flight.
