Arado Ar196 Floatplane.

Oh, to see one fly!

The surviving US airframe’s been through some colour schemes…

I’ll go along with that sentiment. I’d love to see one in the air

Bulgaria’s definately worth it, and the Plovdiv museum is very nice. If it’s cold enough, the curator will be happy to open up his bottle of raki for you up in his office… well, he did that when i was there freezing my protruding body parts off in 1996 🙂

Thanks Gents…

Thank you Gentlemen.
Looks like a holiday in Bulgaria next year.
Great Graf Spee website too.
All the best

Flood.

I know of one surviving here in Europe, a Bulgarian one at the Plovdiv-Krumovo museum. According to http://www.preservedaxisaircraft.com/Luftwaffe/arado/arado.htm there are two more complete aircraft in the US, and a piece of framework in Norway.

Only pic of one of Graf Spee’s Arados i could find was this one, but that’s only from a quick google search which led to www.grafspee.com .

According to this link, there’s 3 left:

I remember seeing some olds pics of the Willow Grove one, I think it used to operate from the Prinz Eugen.
