Guys
What is the state of play with the German FW190s? It’s gone very quiet in particular with the ex Tom Blair example that was Based with the Meier motors team. The other example was always kept under the radar but was up for sale. Any idea guys?

The airframe and engine(s) are stored with their owner in the US.
Sorry – my previous post was confusing – when i said ‘but no more’, I meant the project had not advanced beyond planning stage so far.
Ah, ok – well that´s something then. It could happen one day. Thanks.

That was a concept under discussion, but no more.
Ah, thanks. That´s a pity.
Do you know what is happening to that AC now? Hopefully they´re concentrating on getting it airbourne some way or other.

The prototype G-FWWC has been exported to NZ and re-registered ZK-RFR. It appears to be quite active at the moment:

It had been hoped that it could attend Wanaka at Easter, this is now not going to happen.

D-fwjs was for sale last I heard.
Nice to see the air fighter academy have bought the ex-jacquard example. Will make a fine addition to the fleet.

AFAIK the ex Tom Blair one was finished (and test flown) by MeierMotors late last year and delivered to the (at least to me) unknown customer. Who it is, is not revealed by MeierMotors. The customer seems to like to keep a very low profile, at least at the moment.
The other one (ex Christophe Jacquard) will be restored for Air Fighter Academy, but is on the back burner due to other projects for them.
No new info about the D-FWJS the one Flugwerk is (was) testflying for a German customer.

The ex-Tom Blair example is the shiny silver one that was recently revamped by Meier Motors:
They also completed another for Jerry Yagen that’s now in the US:
Another example (D-FWJS) first flew in Feb ’09, and appears to be based currently at Ingolstadt:

The French one (F-AZZJ) that appeared at Legends a couple of years back ditched in the Med near Hyeres and is now in storage in Germany somewhere.
