D-EWOH is a Zlin Z-42M General Aviation aircraft. Prior to its registration to its current German tail number in 1991, it was registered in the German Democratic Republic as DDR-WOH. It was stolen from the Gesellschaft für Sport und Technik (a German military youth organisation) on the 15th July 1987 and flown from Schönhagen in East Germany to RAF Gatow (now General-Steinhoff Kaserne) in West Berlin by Thomas Kruger in order to facilitate his defection to the Allies from Soviet controlled East Berlin.
It was later returned by road, passing through the Berlin Wall, although members of the RAF had adorned it with slogans like "Wish you were here".
