Another candidate for the Cosford Poly Tunnels !

According to Tomislav over on the Hyperscale forum this aeroplane was assigned to 239 Squadriglia Regia Aeronautica and was lost on April 12th 1941 while attacking Royal Yugoslav seaplanes at Jadrovac. Here’s to a successful recovery and conservation. Lots to work with there !

Not far from the Dornier and in deeper water is a JU88 that is largely complete and which has been filmed by Bob Peacock. Pix on Youtube. Meanwhile the polytunnels at Cosford are empty !

I’d like to second Mike J’s comments and take this opportunity to thank everyone involved with keeping this fabulous aeroplane airworthy

My first Spitfire was TD248 while she was stuck up a pole at RAF Sealand. Her roundel used to glare at me every time we came back over the border into Wales.

Five minutes out !

BBC will show a half hour documentary updating the story of the Dornier on the News Channel later this month. No firm transmission date yet.
