OK-KGF at Prague Airport – Seems still to be there, at least in September 2008: http://www.jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?regsearch=OK-KGF

Jetflap – there is little left at Frankfurt, believe Guenther Kurfiss had to remove all his aircraft many years ago due to the revamp that was made to the place. Last I heard there were a couple of fuselage parts, maybe the Wessex still on the visitor’s platform on Terminal A, hwvr since 9/11 access has been intermittent. I’ll get an uupdate shortly.

On display in the terminal at Ronaldsway Isle of Man is an (the?) Eider Duck, a home built. Apparently the aircraft has never flown. It is on the BAPC register as no 282.

If I were a bit more computer savy I would be able to post an image as I have an “electric” picture of the aircraft.

I think Kingsford Smith’s ‘Southern Cross’ is in Brisbane International.

In a separate building, well away from the terminals.

There is this replica of Karl Jatho’s early machine at Hanover Airport, (as well as bits and pieces of a 747) which was allegedly first flown on August 18th 1903, thus, if true, pre-dating the Wright Brothers by 4 months.

This Stampe was to be seen at Brussels Airport in 1997:

Bergen Flesland

I forgot to mention in the last post that there was an SG-38, LN-GGL hanging up in the terminal at Bergen in 1992.

There is a photo of this glider at www.abpic.co.uk/photo/1105184

Ljubljana

There are 2 gliders displayed above the check in desks at Ljubljana. A SG-38 and A Jastreb 54.

There is a photo of the Jastreb at www.abpic.co.uk/photo/1075261

Cincinnatti

At Cincinnatti-Lunken, Ohio, there’s a small, yellow, single-engined type hanging up in the main entrance. It looked like a Piper Cub but to me, but, not being too well up on light aircraft, it may not have been.

There used to be a Rapide in the main terminal at Frankfurt. Still there?

I last went to Frankfurt in 1987, when they had quite a collection of airframes on a gallery inside the terminal – as well as the Dragon Rapide there was a Tiger Moth, Stampe SV4C, Klemm KL35, Buecker Bestmann and Buecker Jungmann. There was also a Morane-Saulnier MS317 suspended over the concourse. On top of that there were quite a few more aircraft outside on the roof-top ‘Besucherterasse’. It would be a shame if that has been closed, but with modern security concern it wouldn’t surprise me.

That’s the Ross & Keith Smith Vimy at Adelaide, South Australia.
Not exactly in the terminal building, but in a separate structure within the airport carpark, as is Kingsford-Smith’s Fokker VH-USU at Brisbane.

As your web page advises – a very difficult aircraft to photograph. I settled for slight reflections off the protective glass from the front and reduced them with PSP. Image taken March 2006.

Junkers A-50 Junior, easily found by googling!

Helsinki – Vantaa

Nice old plane hanging from the roof of the main departure area. Apologies but I have not been able to identify it or it’s connection to the airport or to Finnair.

This record breaking Junkers is kept in a German airport terminal (guess which one:p) along with a FW 44 and a chunk of the International Space Station[ATTACH]165945[/ATTACH]

At the risk of having my uniform buttons cut off with my sword, and then having that broken as part of my disgrace . . .
How about the 747 that appears in the airport departure lounge in the film “Airport” (or “Aeroplane” – I can’t remember). But that episode (with the attendant shower of broken glass) put me in mind of a number of occasions when some of Her Majesty’s Royal Aeroplane Men had allowed some of Her (or Her Father’s) airframes to come into too close a proximity to airfield buildings.
I appreciate that this post may be accused of Thread hi-jack (or -drift) but so be it!

Seeing that reminded me about the Stampe SV-4 hanging in the departures area at Brussels Airport…….

That one has been removed unfortunatly:(
