Somewhat smaller, our very own Blackbushe-based SNB-5 BuAer 51105, also courtesy Bob Ruffle:

I should have mentioned, of course, that it was pre-1960….not terday.

Here’s one that did a round-the-world during the 1987 Paris Air Show. On board were Patrick Fourticq, Henri Pescaroloo, Hubert Auriol, and Art Powell.
They wanted to beat Howard Hughes’ rtw record, which I believe they did. (they were in the 18, Hughes in a 14)

Thanks, Flat 12 x 2, flashy piece of mapping!

Here’s Rangsdorf, south of Berlin, in 1992, original Buecker buildings in background, with overhauled Mi-8 helis and remnants of crashed Soviet aircraft.

How convincingly?
…The only other Stuka on long term display since the war was the Ju87B in Chicago.

I think it’s mind-boggling to read that the Stuka prototype was powered by a Rolls-Royce Kestrel. Gosh, did they have our permission?? Wonder where they got it from and, had the Jumo not come along, would they have reversed-engineered the Kestrel? It was lost anyway with the crash of the prototype close to Dessau, when the tail came off (twin tail then?). The pilot who lost his life, Willy Neuenhofen, ferried a JU-52 to South Africa in 1936…is that the one still down there I wonder?

Just musing, now that the thread has been revived. We are now a few years closer to the reported restoration…

Five photos taken at Hermeskeil in April 1999:

Can’t do you a Seamaster, Longshot, but here’s the next best thing, taken by Bob Ruffle at Blackbushe on 4 September 1957…

These are the remains of a hapless Islander found in October 2000 in Laayoune, Spanish Sahara. Apparently the BN-2 had been impounded for smuggling.

And the Nissen Hut the famous “Bagley’s Barn”

Roger Smith.

That’s the name Roger! I wonder now if it really was a Nissen hut, or whether it was one of the typical small RAE brick buildings?

Quote from The Art of the Engineer: ‘advice on aeronautical matters came primarily from John Bagley of the Science Museum whose unpublished notes on the early years of the Royal Aircraft Factory were extremely useful…’

Did they remain unpublished I wonder?
