............."Joe, find somebody who can translate Norwegian"

I gave it a try with an on-line translator but, it would'nt work. So a little photo intel analysis is in order..

As near as I can tell, it's a true to original repro of serial No F-108, a Norwegian version that transitioned from floats, wheels, ski's and back again. This version appears to be committed to wheels. One of the pictures shows the fellow holding the Windsock datafile for this aircraft, which features F-108 in several photos.

Either they acquired or are looking for an original Clerget since that does look like an appropriate mount in the picture??? Looks like they were hoping to fly sometime this year, but I see some reference to potential sponsorship.

Another point of interest is the original airfoil section mounted on the wall in the last photo of the second page.

Thanks a lot for this, I will try to make contact.
