Just wondering can anybody give me any information regarding the history of the Storch at Duxford.Thats the static example not the flyer. I Have acquired some nice photographs of the aircraft sat indoors but also on a rare occasion when it was taken outside for one of the Duxford shows. Unfortunately I would post them but they are old fashioned print pictures not the new fangled digital ones.
Am I right in asuming its a Morane built variant? Whats it’s past history? etc etc.
Im making a model of the aircraft using the photos as a guide and as is normal when I build something the more I look at the subject im building the more intrigued I become.
I Really must start reverting to building straight out of the box without using referances. Maybe that way I will complete models I begin.
Many thanks in advance PP

If only a former French Criquet painted in Indo China markings – well you can dream!

That’s the one. MS.502 previously civil-registered F-BCDG, modified with “aftermarket” Argus engine, originally acquired by DX in 1982. Painted to represent the Storch used by General Erich Hoepner, commander of the 4th Panzer Group, 1941.

If it is this storch it is indeed a french MS502 example registered as EI-AUY.
