The Messerschmitt Bf109 E-1 6*88 which fought in the Spanish Civil War is coming good along - last week the owner Robs visited the shop and he was really impressed. Later we took some beer in the "Fliegerhorst" and had a fine evening. What a fantastic man

wheeeeeeeew ..... the last post more than 2 years ago ..... pop1

Well I still exist, the shop also. Tons of things to do, but time for some updates..... well where should I begin. Lets talk about the newest projects in the shop.

North American P-51 Mustang "Queen of Hearts"

The Queen was purchchased bei Achim Meier, CEO of the MeierMotors Company and head of MeierMotors-Aircraftsales, for a German customer. The Queen was based in South Africa. The things do to are the normal program : checking all wirings and hoses, change if needed, new revised engine, new paint and a complete deep check. The "small program" :wink:

South Africa
