Remaining Storch examples

[Yak 11 Fan]

As a slight side issue, I noticed on Trade A Plane recently that there was a part finished Storch project for sale (along with 2 Me208's) anyone know any more about this example????

Lynn, I would love to see some of your Storch photos, my email is: aze@qtm.net. Thanks

Juke, I have the HBO movie "Conspiracy" I had heard that a German based Storch was painted in washable paint for this sequence, do you know wich Storch was it? i have emailable video files of these two Storch landing sequences if anybody wants to see them, 2 and 3 MB files.
Does anybody have Storch flying footage from movies or airshows?

PS- notice the phony wing markings on the Conspiracy Storch photo.

There is a French comedy movie, title is "La Grande Vadrouille" (sp?) with Terry Thomas, and a French comedian that I call "Bovril" because I cannot remember his name.

There is a flying scene involving a Storch if I am not mistaken, very likely an MS Cricquet. I will have to find the movie and watch it, since the last time I did, was probably 30 years ago.

That is what I was curious about; so Heyrich did not have special nazi markings on his plane !

Does anyone know more about the MS 500 (Fi 156C-3 ) HB-??? from the list of preserved axis aircraft (link in first reply) which is resident with the vormezeele collection in Belgium. At Vormezeeles webpage, I could only find info about the MS505 which Vormezeele recently sold to a new owner in Germany. But I don't have a clue which MS500 or Friesler Storch he has now.

Any clues?

Wasn't this filmed in Germany? Isn't it illegal to have those markings on anything there? Probably why it was water soluble paint.

Tulio,

You are correct - the movie is "La Grande Vadrouille" with Bourvil and Louis de Funès. I believe it's a MS.500 :

Film was made by HBO and BBC so they got a special clearance..on underside it has got crosses !

Finnish Air Force had in fact swastikas as national insignia during 1918-1944. I know SS leader Reinhard Heydrich was not a finn !
