Warbird Information Exchange

I heard a rumor that they The Flying Heritage Collection aquired a Stuka. Is there any truth to this? It is not listed on their site.

Also, does anyone know anything about their Me-163? Condition? Pics? History? Same with their Casa 2.111D.

Lastly, on their site it lists them having a F-105, F-8 and a Harrier. Will these be flyable?

From my 'Stuka Survivors' article in Classic Wings Issue 44...which also contains a photo of the wreck.

Dave


Junkers Ju 87R-2 wk.nr.0875709 , LI+KU of 1./St.G.5
Manufactured in May 1940 at Bremen it was forced down in combat near Motowski Bay near Murmansk on 28.5.42.
Pilot Lt. Eberhardt Klauck and observer Ogefr. Hans Hüllen , survived the crash and are listed as returning to German lines , although there is also a report that Hüllen became a POW.
Discovered in 1996 , the remains of what are thought to be the original factory code were visible , consisting of a black ‘Z’ and a light coloured ‘K’ , the latter possibly relating to the individual aircraft letter assigned within the squadron.
It was recovered to the U.K. in 1998 , thereafter offered for sale via Royal Air Warbird Finders, based in the U.S. for $50,000. Believed purchased by the Flying Heritage Collection , Seattle and a long term restoration project . Two Jumo 211s have been secured to that end.
