KZ II Trainer 

The KZ II Trainer is a strengthened and more powerful version of the KZ II Sport. The prototype first flew in April 1946. The prototype featured a "greenhouse" type canopy, but the 15 production aircraft supplied to the Danish Air Force, reverted to the open cockpit of the KZ II Sport. The KZ II Trainer was used to train Danish Air Force pilots until 1955, in which year the remaining 9 KZ II Trainer were sold for civil use. At the moment there are only two airworthy KZ II Trainer and three others are under restoration.
