Is the Goodwin Dornier the sole survivor?

There is certainly a war grave Stirling known about so its not that far fetched ! There are many ‘extinct’ types around but as history has shown with the likes of the Buffalo its only a matter of us finding them!

Indeed, all a case of degrees!

However, by using the yardstick of currently calling the Goodwins Dornier 17 a survivor then presumably we can strike a goodly number off the list of ‘extinct’ historic airframes?

Hindenburg and Whitley Project will be pleased to know that there are suddenly a good few surviving Stirling and Whitley airframes. Somewhere. (Apart from hangars in China and Russia, that is)

In view of all the fuss over who gets the P40.,have the Germans expressed any interest in claiming the Dornier?

Tangmere – its all about the degrees of pedantic -its been there since 1940 so I would happily argue that its already a ‘survivor’ !

How it comes out of the sand concerns me more ! That might have a dramatic effect on how intact a ‘survivor’ it is going to be!

Being pedantic…but presumably the Goodwins Dornier is not a ‘survivor’ until it is…well…..out, recovered and ‘surviving’?

Looks as though I’m right. The Goodwin Dornier is not alone.

Thanks Tony T for posting that site, great detail of the recovery and above all detailed photos of the aircraft parts and restoration (never seen this site before) often puzzles me with aircraft recovery digs as to why there aren’t more detailed photos of the aircraft parts found i guess there must be a reason.
Do you no of any other sites similar to this one? Cheers

Thanks for posting that, I’d forgotten what an incredible pair of restorations those are.
