Bolkow F-207
Briefly designated the F.207 in May 1961 before Bölkow settled on the Bo 207 name, this four-seat West German touring aircraft was a development of the wartime Klemm Kl 107, first flying on 10 December 1960. It is a wood-structured, low-wing cabin monoplane with a Lycoming O-360 engine and conventional tailwheel gear, built at Bölkow's Laupheim plant. Only about 92 were completed between 1961 and 1963 before production ended, making surviving examples uncommon today, though a handful remain on European civil registers and occasionally appear at vintage fly-ins.
