Does this look like a Me108 to you?

The 108 was also built by Nord as the 1101. A number of examples were flown to the UK in the sixties (2 of them by me). I seem to recall that these had Renault engines.

The French company SNCAN at Les Mureaux built two Messerschmitt Me 208 prototypes, which had tricycle landing gear. One of the Me 208s that survived the liberation of Paris became the Nord 1100, forming the basis for the Nord 1101 Noralpha, which differed from the Me 208 and Nord 1100 in being powered by a Renault engine (one Nord 1101 sub-variant, the Nord 1102, was not built). There was one Noralpha re-engined with a Potez 6D that was designated Nord 1104, and SFERMA modified two Nord 1101s with the Turbomeca Astazou turboprop, in which case these aircraft became the Nord 1110 Nord-Astazou.
