Messerschmitt Bf-108 Taifun (multiple)

I photographed these Messerschmitt Bf-108 Taifun / Nord 1002 Pingouin examples in Virginia Beach and the Imperial War Museum, Duxford.

The French continued to produce the Bf-108 after the war with their own engines, the civilian version was the Nord 1101 Noralpha and a military version called Ramier.

At the end of the war, the design was adapted to the Messerschmitt Me-208 that used tricycle landing gear and had the cabin enlarged.
