Good afternoon,
In May 1980 I visited Frankfurt airport. On the roof terrace some preserved aircraft could be seen. The images (slide scans) are taken on May 24th, 1980. I hope you like them.
1. 5: Messerschmidt Me.262
2. 54: Messerschmidt Me.163
3. unknown: Dornier DO.27
4. unknown: Messerschmidt Me.108
5. D-EFOW: Klemm 107
6. 65371 (LN-KLV) : Douglas DC3, Nor-Fly
Kind regards,
Peter

Hi guys, Messerschmitt 262 & 163 were replicas built by Manfred Pflumm (owner of Internationales Luftfahrtmuseum at Villingen-Schwenningen). While Me 262 has been scrapped long time ago, Messerschmitt 163 replica is now at Luftfahrt&Technik Museum Merseburg.
And the spanish built Heinkel 111 is at Flugausstellung Hermeskeil.

Some very interesting pictures, it would be nice to know where all these are now. As Strangelove says, the 262 looks rather replica-ish, the saggy wings being a bit of a give-away.

Believe the 262 at Frankfurt was a replica.

re;
where are they now? I thought the 262 at Cosford/Hendon/St Athan was the only one in Europe at the time
