Perhaps an interesting side note. The late A.C. Williams was heavily involved as a key consultant to Grob during the development of the Egrett. At one point the aircraft was housed in one half of Southwest Soaring's hangar, with a large hanging curtain cutting off view from the other half of the hangar. It was to be Germany's answer to the U-2, if Wikipedia is to be believed.
