The Fieseler Fi-103R-I Reichenberg, at the Olympic Flight Museum should count in this bracket. Don't think they fly it!

I'm surprised the Me209 still survives, minus wings. It would great if it eventually gets preservation treatment.

Let's see, I think NASM has a Japanese "Kikka" the Me262-like twin jet. He 162 , AF museum, I think. There is a Japanese "Dinah" in England and a 4 engine "Emily" flying boat in Japan. A couple of "Ohkas" here and there.

The Canada Aviation Museum in Ottawa has an unrestored He-162 disassembled in storage. I'll post pics when I get home.

Do they have two?

If not, it has moved on to the UK.

I wouldn't call the Ar 234, He 219 or Irving experimental, they saw plenty of service.

Planes of Fame has a Japanese version of the Me163 (sorry, I don't know the "proper" Japanese nomenclature :oops: ). First, is that real or a replica? Second, it looks like it's got a longer canopy...almost like a two seater...is that the case, or am I way off there? Any other info on that machine?
