06/18/2003. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "An early production aircraft, this BK 117A-3 was retained by MBB as a demonstrator.

Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm BK 117A-3

This other photo shows the same aircraft some time later, restyled and named "Space Ship" for marketing reasons. The colour art, designed by Luigi Colani, is arguably a positive change giving the aircraft a "spacier look"."
