EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Nord 1002 Pingouin II, registration number G-ASTG (msn 183), a vintage aircraft manufactured by Societe Nationale de Constructions Aeronautiques du Nord (SNCAN) in France during the 1940s. Previously known as F-BGKI, this aircraft entered the British aircraft register on May 21, 1964. The Nord 1000 family, of which the Pingouin II is a part, represents post-war French production of the Messerschmitt Me 108. Initially, the Nord 1000 series utilized ready-built components and engines from Messerschmitt. However, later models, including the Pingouin II, featured new-build airframes and French engines, such as the Renault 6Q-10, which powered this aircraft with a capacity of 240 horsepower. This image captures the essence of the 1960s aviation era, as the Nord 1002 Pingouin II gracefully takes flight against a clear blue sky. The Pingouin II, with its distinctive design and impressive engineering, remains an iconic representation of aviation history.
