This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

The FW 200 Condor that was being restored in Bremem, has now moved and is being reassembled in Hangar 7 at Tempelhof. While the work is to airworthy standards, she will not fly again. The video is about 46 minutes long and all narration and interviews are in German.

She's a beaut... I thought it was being restored as an airliner; why no side windows?

This restoration will be a bit of a topic for discussion for many moons to come I'm sure. It's fundamentally a Condor but (I think for political reasons which I fully understand) been restored to resemble a civilian Kurier. Thus no bathtub and (I suspect) retaining the Condor fuselage config and landing gear. I am assuming that this leaves the possibility of hopefully one day make the changes necessary to have it fully back in Condor config.
Meanwhile I don't really care: it's a handsome machine and an awesome job they've done!

The military versions added extra weight with little strengthening of the fuselage off memory.Had a history of in flight failures.
