Looks like it might be a 2007 like mine. Swiss registration? What is H, euro-pilots?

I use this page to decode aircraft registration prefixes. Looks like HB- is either Switzerland or Liechtenstein.

yes it was Swiss, Thielert powered twin, propeller control valve stopped functioning normally, diverted to airfield, technician from Diamond Canada flew up there, replaced valve, aircraft departed.
