Made in Slovakia, nice

The article says (in short): made in 1942 in Mráz factory subsidiary in Slovakian city Nitra, it was two seat sport and training aircraft based on Be 555 Superbibi. Compared to Be 555 it had some modification of the engine's position (details are not clear from the text) and also the modification of the cockpit fairing. Zobor I was predecessor of the Sokol, developed after the WWII. In 1943, ten serial production aircrafts were produced.
