Not the Aviatik Berg D.1 I am sorry to say. This aircraft first flew mid 1930s.

Not a great number of these aircraft were built. It is believed one still flies today.

To recap. This aircraft was built by a German firm, mid 1930s, it was not built in great numbers and at least one was still flying last year.
The company that built it went on to build many other aircraft designed by other manufacturers.

The aircraft reported to be still in existence has an unusual registration.

Hi Clint
Did not think it would prove this difficult. One further clue, as stated above, the Company that built this little aircraft went on to build many aircraft for other manufacturers amongst which was a famous WWII fighter.
