That . . . is . . . beautiful, I could cycle it all day and just watch it and feel it - gorgeous. I just love WWII German aircraft, engineering brilliance.

I think it's a shame that Musee de l'Air et de l'Espace wanted their aircraft back so quickly. With this aircraft in bits at Memorial Flight, it would have been a good opportunity to take measurements so that a replica could be built; rather like was done with a Messerschmitt 262

Pretty basic design. Are those springs actuating the main gear? I like the little window for the nose wheel.

Where is the Heinkel now??? I heard that the real Yellow 11 that was flown by Oberleutenant Emil Demuth Werk# 120074 was in unrestored airworthy condition in a Canadian museum and was recently traded for a british aircraft
