Let’s build a collection here of film clips about commercial cargo and passenger aircraft that dind’t reach the stage of mass production, the one- or two-off’s.
I’ll start with the VEB Baade 152 airliner, built in Dresden.
The first clip shows in the first 2:10 minutes moving pictures of this airliner, the rest is technical stuff in German.

It looks as though it was modeled on the B47 stratojet

Great videos. The Baade 152 is one of my favourite jets, I have a lovely book all about it and its designer Prof. B.Baade who was a senior in the Junkers company in WW2. He later continued his work under the Soviets designing a jet bomber for them which looked remarkedly like the 152. I also have a 1/72 scale model of the plane obtained from a company in France in the prototype livery, I would love to have seen one for real. According to the book the 152 was under consideration by Tarom, LOT, CAAV and DLH which eventually became Interflug.

Think this is going to be a short thread, so while waiting for the entries, you can enjoy ‘The two airliner race’, great if you haven’t seen it before and great if you haven’t seen it recently.
