Recovery of 2/JG26's Fw 190D-9.
Sun Oct 15 02:33:03 2000


Hello everyone!

On the last pages of Axel Urbanke's excellent book "Green Hearts, first in combat with the Dora 9" four nice color photos of 2/JG26's "black 8" can be found. The photos
were taken in 1990, when the Focke-Wulf was recovered from Schwerin Lake. The Dora was very well preserved by the cold water, for this reason I'd like to get additional
information about this a/c. It would be nice to know where the plane has been stored, if a complete restoration is being considered and, if so, where this potent fighter is
going to be displayed.

That's all for now, many thanks in advance.
JORDI-

A series of photos taken at the Deutches Museum can be found at:

http://community.webshots.com/album/162120

The series is entitled German WW2 Fighter Planes: Me 109, Me 262, Me 163 - Some German fighter planes of WW2 that are on display at the Deutsches Museum in Munich. The only name associated with these is Sascha. The reference to these photos was found under Sascha's Photo Album on the JG 77 "Herz As" website of Michael "pritzl" Albert:

The "Fördervereins Technikmuseum Hugo Junkers Dessau" appears to have two website addresses:

http://www.technikmuseum-dessau.de
http://www.stadt-land.de/technikmuseum/home.htm

The museum has a Ju 52. The websites give historical information on Hugo Junkers, some of his early aircraft, and the Junkers concern. Visitor information is provided.

A related website address:

http://www.dessau.de/amt41/kulttour/de/kultur/k08.html

shows 2 photos of the Ju 52 and provides more information regarding the museum holdings:

"Das Technikmuseum "Hugo Junkers" will die Industrie- und Luftfahrtgeschichte der Region lebendig und anschaulich vermitteln. Auch wenn es sich noch im Aufbau befindet, können bereits wichtige Exponate, Dokumente und Industrieerzeugnisse besichtigt werden.
Sehenswert ist besonders die JU 52/3m ("Tante JU"), die 1995 von Norwegen nach Dessau kam.

Zu den bemerkenswerten technischen Denkmalen zählen:

der Junkers Windkanal (1933/34)
die Kompensierscheibe zur Justierung der Bordinstrumente im Flugzeug (1935)
das Junkers-Verwaltungshochhaus (1934/35)"

Tranlating via Altavista:

"the technique museum " Hugo Junkers " wants to obtain the industrie and aviation history of the region alive and descriptive. Even if it is still in the structure, can be visited already important exhibits, documents and industrial products.

Worth seeing the JU 52/3m (" aunt JU ") particularly is, which came 1995 from Norway to Dessau.

Among the remarkable technical thinking marks rank:

the Junkers wind tunnel (1933/34)
the compass base for the adjustment of the instruments in the airplane (1935)
the Junkers Verwaltungshochhaus (1934/35)"

[Richard T Eger]

The Werftverein was a new one to me, so I took a look at the site Alex mentioned above. This museum contains (with photos of each on the site) a couple of WW II era German aircraft and several aircraft engines:

Aircraft

CASA 2.111 B (Heinkel He 111 H16)
Junkers W33

Engines

Argus AS 17A
BMW 801
Hirth HM 6 Junkers Jumo 004
Junkers Jumo 205
Junkers Kumo 211
Junkers Jumo 213
Junkers L5G

In addition, there is a general history given for the Do 335 and a specific history for Do 335A-0 W.Nr. 240102, including photos.

Regards,
Richard

Richard,

I know this Werftverein in Schleißheim since 1993. They exhibited in hangar 4 their aircaft engines and you can see the men on the restauration on these engines.

The chairman is Bernd Junkers, a member of the familiy of Hugo Junkers. He is related with a Museum in Dessau.

Greetings,

Alex

There was a site from the british owners of a Fw-189 being restored in Czech Republic. Their URL was www.fockewulf189.com (http://www.fockewulf189.com) but it appears to be a dead one...

Here are a few sites which may help.

The Fw-189 is now being restored by Flug Werks in Munich. Restoration started about 2 months ago and the plan calls for the first flight to take place the end of 2002.

DEAR ALL:
I find a web written in German about a FW190 in Hannover. The web address is:

http://www.airventure.de/news_fw190_dsommer.htm

Because I do not understand German.
Who can translate the articles for me about the FW190 ?


THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

-----

Note: If you go to:

http://www.airventure.de/news.html

you come to the news page of Airshow-News. You can click onto the article Willy mentions, which has 4 color and 1 B&W Fw 190 photos. You can also get a short update on the FW 190 A8/N von Flug Werk with 3 color photos and a link to the Flug Werk homepage. Since these are news items, they may not be permanently posted.

Regards,
Richard

The Fw 190 is definitely a replica, and the 109 is a Spanish one fitted with, if I remember correctly, a DB 605. What they do have is the wreck of a Stuka and a wreck of a
Ju 88, but the latter looks horrible, as some "specialists" have done an incredibly bad job comleting it as a mockup.

Cheers,

Christoph
