I was going to do this one. There is a web page somewhere with the story in a more readable form but here's an approximation via Googlebabble.

At this year's farewell to summer, ie from Benesov to Rana looked Blanik L-13A fighter in the colors of the Imperial Japanese Navy. This aircraft was certainly for those who miss BLANICE after recovery, because for several years on early Blanik sleep only in the hangar. Benešovský L-13A Blanik OK-1827 (serial number 172003) was originally made in 1964 in the basic version and served Aeroclub Svazarmu in Czech Budejovice. But in 1967, he crashed and was canceled. For many, many years later, sometime in the early nineties, but with the same serial number of the aircraft being rebuilt, but in version L-13A (today it can fly) and 29 March 1993, it was again with its original matriculation OK-1827 entered in the register. But besides modernizing wing hinges lived to see the changes visible from the outside, because instead of the standard wingtips common with other types of L-13, this "Japanese" laminate end arches used in modern L-23 model 96. And so it was this year's "Rise" actually under the slogan "Japanese at the end ..." summer and the summer season. But despite such strange blowing, it was on thermal flying and so expand and flew merrily around pretty much all that was available, including Šohaj (LG-125/425), Orlik (VT-116 / M-35), but also Banjo must glider, or SZD Foka 4. and even some of those forgotten bow awakened ...

Z knihy p.Orlity Historie větroně L-13 Blaník, str. 65: ...L13A OK-1827, původně v roce výroby 1964 dodaný Svazarmu a přidělený do Č.Budějovic. Již v roce 1967 byl zrušen při havárii a později /pravděpodobně někdy v devadesátých letech) znovu postaven "kolem původních papírů" s původním výrobním číslem 172003 jako L-13A. ....V polovině 90.let se na něm v Benešově několikrát svezl pan Zemen, kdysi emigrovavší do Austrálie, také jeho japonské ženě J.Mari se Blaník velice líbil. Spokojený zákazník pak zaplatil nový exteriér letadla , který využívá motivu vycházejícího slunce a na přídi je v originálním japonském písmu jméno ženy pana Zemana (jméno v latince je také v malém provedení pod kořenem pravého křídla). Tento blaník je také pozoruhodný také tím, že namísto standartních koncových vřeten má montovány laminátové koncové oblouky z typu L23 model 96.

From the book History p.Orlity glider L-13 Blanik, p. 65 ... L13A OK-1827, originally in production in 1964 came Svazarmu and assigned to Ceske Budejovice. Already in 1967, was canceled in the crash and later / probably sometime in the nineties) re-built "around the original securities" with the original serial number 172003 as L-13A. .... In the mid-90s on him several times in Benesov drove Mr. Zemen, once emigrovavší to Australia, his Japanese wife J.Mari the Blanik really liked. Satisfied customer had paid for new exterior aircraft that uses the motif of the rising sun, and the bow is in the original Japanese script name women to Mr Zeman (name in Latin is also in a small package under the root of the right wing). The Blanik is also remarkable by the fact that instead of the standard terminal spindles has assembled laminate trailing arcs of type L23 model 96th


So if I get this right Mr Zeman have a Japanese wife, who likes this glider. That's a nice story, I wonder why this is not included on camouflage description, such personal accent would be nice. And model should be released on 14th this month!
