Sinsheim and Speyer museums

The sectioned F-104 outside in the rain and the unfortunate Schlepp are a shame at Speyer.

They have a very reasonable motorhome / caravan stopping area with excellent facilities at the Speyer site too – stopped there this year and went around the museum which is literally on the doorstep – wanted to see the Me363 wingspar, but seems it is not on display? pity they have not done more with the Me110 remains they have too, but other wise excellent museum, perhaps not for the purist though, it is a bit Disney at times and some of the displays are a little contrived.

Thought Sinshiem was the better site as went last year – but then I like military vehicles too! The Ju88 was the only real disappointment – it’s so bad they really should remove it now or do something with it, as it reflects badly on the otherwise amazing exhibits around it – IMO.

eh?

I’ve gotta say … I’m very impressed with the variety of display. Must be quite a sight. What’s the swing-wing aircraft BTW?

Somebody has too say it so it may as well be me. What a large and splendid organ that is in PIC. #2…………………………….

Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing.

(Edited in the light of David’s post, Pembroke wings not B25.)

The wings are from a Pembroke -the Merlin I believe is a 500 Series.

Hi j_jza80,

The merlin is one of a pair but I don’t know if the wings are from the same aircraft, again with the Ju88, I am not sure, sorry I am not that knowledgeable but I am sure somebody on here will know.

These museum’s are worth a visit.

Great pictures, and what a collection. I like the way the Stuka is displayed.

What’s the wing from that they’re positioning the Merlin against in the first picture?

Also, is the front end of that JU88 a mock up?
