New homepage for "Flugmuseum Messerschmitt" (Messerschmitt Foundation / EADS)

If you had the resources, there are enough parts to build an airworthy 110, or indeed an ’88.

A LOT of work though.

Perhaps a short run of new builds a la Flug Werk wouldn’t go amiss? I suppose a twin with fuel-hungry engines would be less appealing than an Fw190 in the current climate-but then again the 110 has the massive advantage of being a (practical) two-seater with options for dual control, etc.
Such an undertaking would also have the advanntage of being able to supply static components and sub-assemblies to help restorations out-am I right in thinking that Flug Wek did this for one or two static 190s?

I’m probably just swayed by dreams of a 110 mock-dogfighting at Legends with R4118 and the two new Hurricane 1 restoration (P3717 and P2902)… 😀

I found a lit of survivors,,, doesn’t look promising. And you may have to copy and paste the links, they don’t seem to work unless you do.

Nice wee website. That ‘108 is a cracker, though it needs crosses on the upper wings. 😉

I doubt they will go to Flying Legends, as the policy of Messerschmitt Foundation is to attend few selected airshows, due to keep the planes going for a longer time. Though G-4 has attended RIAT in one of the last years, I can not remember when at the moment. The Me 163 might be a possibility, but I doubt they will tow it with their Do 27 to Duxford. They went quite regularly to ILA Berlin, and Hahnweide, as well as Zeltweg (Austria).

RIAT was 2010, wasn’t it?

Never say never, but I suspect it would take a Paul Allen-sized wedge of cash to do it.

Mike, what about the one currently located in Italy and also recovered from Russia?

No, unless the left-over parts (ex-Tim Wallis) from the Berlin static restoration or another one of the Russian recoveries are used to form the basis of a largely new-build flyer.

Are there any 110’s out there that could possibly be returned to flight??

Nice website, I hadn’t realised that three “109G”s were airworthy (or at least potentially so in Germany.
Now, wouldn’t it be super if we saw an airworthy 110 in the next few years?
We can only dream 🙂

The Messerschmitt Foundation also attended LFA airshow in France with D-FMBB (twice) & their Me 163.

Michael.

Somebody once told me that there are other airshows in the world than Flying Legends. I’m not sure I believe them though.

………

The 109s are all converted Buchons.

Yes, and all 3 of them are in for maintenance / repair, none of them airworthy at the moment, at least that is what I know. G-6 D-FMBB is in for long planned major overhaul since considerable time, I believe she is the one that clocked most hours of the 3. G-10 D-FDME is getting a “new” engine. G-4 D-FWME is in for repair after bellylanding at Roskilde Airshow (Denmark), maybe engine overhaul as well as bodywork, though pilot Klaus Plasa did a remarkably good job in getting her down with minimal damage.

P.S.: One tiny piece that I would like them to change with their homepage: 1. English version (might come), 2. Proper regular updates on the current state of their planes and intended participation at airshows (I doubt that one, as their former one wasn´t up to date either, you only got information where they have been in the former years….) 🙁

It is one of the Legend Flyers replicas built in the US in recent years, powered by modern engines.

The 109s are all converted Buchons.

I presume the 262 is a flying replica? One photo shows a 262 with what look like original engine exhausts

It’s a replica 163 build as a glider.

I didn’t realise you had an airworthy 163. Any plans to bring it to the UK?

Thanks for the Heads Up Michael.

Cheers
