hi,
a bit of a minor thread creep, I was reading a article in Aviation News 1985, about the show at Farnborough in Oct./ Nov. 1945, there was 32 a/c on view. At the end of the article it states that only the Bv 155 is in storage at Silver Hill, and a FW.190 on display in S.Africa, also possibly the Fieseler Storch being restored at St.Athan remain of that great exhibition. Oh for a far seeing person who could have kept them safe for the museum in the future. Bye the bye it also says “over a w/end in Nov. the public were allowed in to see what we had been fighting, but in the case of a Fw.190D captured on 1/1/45 during operation Bodenplatte with only superficial damage, was by Nov.11th reduced to a complete wreck by over enthusiastic visitors!”

regards,
jack…
