During the 1950s the Heliopolis Aircraft Works of Egypt acquired a Czechoslovak licence to
produce the Bestmann (Bucker Bu 181s) in versions similar to the Zlín Z.381 with a 105 hp
Walter-Minor engine. It was produced for the Egyptian Air Force as the Gomhouria (meaning
"Republic") and subsequent versions were supplied to other Arab air forces. At least 300
Gomhourias were built - Wikipedia

That´s right but the Mk6 is powered with a Continental O300 with 145hp. The nose is a
little bit different to the original Bestmann and of course the Mk6 has a littlebit better
performance!
