I have this in my collection and I don't know what it is. Anyone know?

Thanks!

Back when I worked for Bolkow, we called a Bo 107. Haven't seen F.207 before.

Is the registration D-ECHE? Do you know when it was photographed, Zane?

[Ztex]

Yes the registration is D-ECHE. It was photographed in 1961 at Neuostheim (Mannheim) Germany.

There is one other photo of it on line at Paris in 1961.

Since the F.207 (BO 207) first flew in late 1960, I wonder if this is a prototype or at least a very early model.

I'm pretty sure this is the 1st production version clearly Bolkow after the Klemm/Bolkow collaberation.

I've detailed this in 3 attempts, but the "No Post Mode Specified", ate my homework
If this don't work..I'll try again later today...ARRRRRGGGhHH

EDIT
JEEEZUS..it finally went thru..Using the German registration page I provided, keyword"F.207".
Four airframes..#201-204 info will give you an idea of the transition.

Anyone willing to flipoff the Nazi's in Germany in 1943 is OK with me...
