Missing model/type?

[edit]

I was hoping to find an article (or link-to) about the Let/Moravan Z-37 (a.k.a Zlin 237A Cmelak), an example of which (Reg: D-ESVU) crashed at an airshow in Eisenach-Kindel airfield (ICAO: EDGE) in April 2008. Photos of this actual example exist at airliners.net, for which usage permissions could possibly be obtained if prompt action is taken (i.e. before the contributors decide to withdraw them from that site). It is/was an unusual looking design (none too pretty, IMHO) and I was wondering if it was a one-of-a-kind? Also, I would like to know if it was a dedicated aerobatic machine or if it was primarily designed as a crop-duster and it just happened to have abilities worthy of including it in an air display? The BBC News Channel mentioned the accident in a TV broadcast (just once - swamped out by other events later that day) and subsequently didn't bother to put an article about it on their website. We'd need someone with a good knowledge of German news websites to get a citation for the accident, without which that cannot go into an article which gets created, if any.

Bad link?

[edit]

The link to the Zlin XIII actually leads to the Zlin XII. 199.44.16.171 (talk) 17:44, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
