The Noralpha was developed from the Messerchmitt Me.
208, two of which Nord had built for the Germans in 1943. This was an
enlarged retractable tricycle undercarriaged version of the
Messerschmitt Bf.108 Taifun. Most of the production Noralphas saw
service with the French Air Force where it was known as the Ramier. A
small number remain airworthy in civil markings in France and the United
States.
