Sounds like fun, I shall begin negotiations 😀

The berlin museum of WW2 has always fasicinated me. In the current museum is a large scale model of what the museum looked like around 1943. At the entrance are a captured Wellington,Spit,Battle and a couple of French bombers. Gems inside included the giant Dornier DoX, which was too big to move, The last surviving Fokker DR1, some early Dornier flying boats and of course the Krakow exhibits. Just why they were moved east towards the russians and not south to say Munich are a puzzle.
Nice to see the Krakow museum getting some well deverved cash. When I visited in 1990 almost all the Berlin aircraft were in a very dark and dusty store. Under comunism priority was given to Polish and Russian aircraft. Time for another visit I think.

Fascinating stuff HP, I wouldnt mind a trip round there.

Love those old Bird’s, even with out their feather’s.

That’s a great site HP 😉 thank’s very much mate 😎 .

Another to the Favorite’s, Lost track now of how many I have now and it’s getting a bit out of control 😮 :p .
