Josef Koch had a collection/museum at Sandown for a while.

Am I correct in my recollection that, for a time, Josef Koch had a collection of aircraft in a private museum on the Isle of Wight but that collection subsequently relocated to Saxony. I think that the collection included Klemm 25, formerly G-AAHW (one of the very few aeroplanes to be based at the former Hastings Pebsham aerodrome) and now D-EFLK.

Does that make the Bleriot D-EEXI and the DR1 D-EFTJ?

The Magister was G-AKPF (V1075), not G-AVPF. It was a composite rebuild, employing the fuselage of G-ANLT (N2788). I have a photograph of it at Shoreham, before its wings were attached.

The Museum was, I believe, owned by Airframe Assemblies. The Bleriot and Dr1 were owned by Josef Koch.
