A few days ago I had the pleasure of visiting Gilleje Flügzeugbau in northern Zealand, Denmark.

Here, mr. Henrik Mortensen keeps a beautiful BF-110 G4 displayed along with tons of Luftwaffe memorabilia.

Well worth a visit.

Nicolai--

Holy COW! What a spectacular sight. I don't think I'd even heard of this 110 before...had vaguely thought the one at Hendon was still the only complete example...clearly not. More pix to post? Yes please!!

Cheers

S.

Wow...looks like Mr. Mortensen has quite the collection (and some deep pockets).

Thanks for sharing Nicolai and please try to post more!

I think I read about this one in one of the English mags some time back, and I'm not sure how much of it is real, although some certainly is.

Very cool though.

cheers

Right on Mr. Mortensen!!! Great to see he has the balls to display the DREADED swastika!

I might have thought such things as that would be illegal in Denmark. Sure makes the aircraft look much more authentic. Congratulations for your courage, Mr. Mortensen.

According to Mortensen himself, the tailboom and right hand wing are not original. Everything else is.

The surrounding enviroment illustrates a typical German WW2 airbase scene. It's a very impressive collection!!!

Hereby a few more shots to illustrate the "exhibition":

Wonderful to see that there are people preserving stuff that (most) of us did not even know existed. :D Thank you very much Nicolai!

Shay, my guess is that you didn't look in the "relics" section of the website like I suggested. It's listed as a Bf-110G-4 replica. Cockpit photo is there.

Great effort, but he omitted the fact that the fuselage is also not original, unless that is what is meant by 'tailboom'
