The Grunau type was produced by several manufacturers, the pictured one by the Flugzeugbau Petera GmbH at Hohenelbe, Germany (presently Vrchlabí in the Czech Republic) in 1944. The NSFK issued the Stammkenzeichen (code) "LZ-NC", when captured by the USAAF Technical Intelligence branch in 1945 it received the code "T2-2600" and was ferried to the USA. In 1949 it was transferred to the NASM, where it has been repainted in German markings.
