Blohm und Voss flying boats

…if you want to see another angle let me know.

I don’t suppose you took any photos of the Jumo 205 engines did you? 🙂

A Chinook!

A BV-234 is a Boeing-Vertol Chinook helicopter.

Speaking of Blohm und Voss – here’s my favourite aircraft quiz question….

If a Blohm und Voss BV-138 is a twin boom, three engined flying boat and a BV-222 is a giant six-engined flying boat, what is a BV-234??

Vic,

See attached link for details of the museum. I’ll post another angle when I get a free moment.

It may not look like it but the airframe has received a lot of tlc already in the form of inhibiting further corrosion but it’s beyond full restoration and some key components are missing. The item slung from the roof above the fuselage is the main spar.

Your wish is my command! Here’s a shot I took of it a couple of months ago – if you want to see another angle let me know.

Wow so there is one B&V left.

But the wikipedia entry for this one survivor makes interesting reading.

Also there is still talk of raising the Viking V2 in Norway but i am not sure how far along that is?

according to this website

it still is

Garber Restoration Facility-Silver Hill, MD

looks like a hell of a machine!

Am I right in thinking that the only B&V aircaft of any type still extant is the Bf109-derived Bv155 in storage in the US?

Except for a few flying bombs (the prototypes was a B&V product but most were made by Henschel) i dont think anything Blohm und Voss survives as a complete item (unless you are a diver), in the flying boat arena the only German type to really survive WW2 was the Dorniers.
