Hi Dennis, I was there in early September. The machine is a partly reconstruction, as the nose, undercart and the tailsection comes from an original DO-335. During my visit it looked more or less the same as in your pic. BW Roger
It is arranged in my will that all my photographic work will go to our national aviation museum.
Just dropped you an email! BW Roger
Interesting, didn’t know there was a 2nd TBM in France. Well, anyway, I hope the story is true. Wouldn’t mind to see an MLB Avenger in the air.

Best way to ge there is on the first sunday of the month when they perform an airshow. It is a 2 hour walk from the C.Vientos museum ( I did that the first time ), but now I take a taxi from downtown mMadrid to the “Aero Club””, an historic building with a small tower on top. The static is before this building. Later. around 12.30 they start flying. BW Roger
Well let’s conclude then that it hasn’t sold to Holland then(yet). BW Roger
Don’t think it is that one, as it is a TBM 3U which was never operated in Holland, so it needs a complete rebuilt then. I was told it came from the USA. But maybe you are right, did they say it went to Holland? BW Roger
Was there a few weeks ago and the remains of a 109 replica were lingering around behind some buildings. As it was wrapped, I didn’t give it much notice so I guess it is the same plane. BW Roger
It’s the same at Barcelona, where they have a small museum/exhibition behind security, and even worse, in the corridor between 2 terminals. So even when you are within the “zone”, your chanches of missing it are very big. BW Roger
the Hellcat that used to be at Pima survived well in the Californian Pacific depths – but it was incredibly deep!
Last time I saw it, in the early nineties or so, the engine had been falling from the airframe. After that, I never saw it again. Any idea where it is today, or was it scrapped (can hardly believe that)? BW Roger
Je moet in het Engels schrijven Jochen, anders verstaan ze het niet. Ok, I am working on it. And for Madrid, departure is very early, so you won’t be sleeping the night of Thursday to Friday but at least the hotel is in a much more silent part of the city, only wonder why there is such an amount of red lights in the street there. BW Roger
I’ll post them, although there were less than 6 at Hahnweide. Takes some time to go through my cd’s, but they are coming. BW Roger
Gareth, check your email. BW Roger
Hi Mark,
No I didn’t see it untill now. crazy prices for just a pic. Is that the Spit with the all yellow tail? Realy like that one. I have the dual one in high res if you want it. Don’t know if it is a known one. BW Roger
hi Mark,
Here it is, computer was in the “I ignore all Spitfires except when they are in Luftwaffe livery mode” it normally is in.That’s why it didn’t want to post the pic. BW Roger
