Long time since the last update. Have even missed to
mark the 10 year anniversary of Preserved Axis Aircraft being on line! It’s a
combination of having been forced to move the website to another hosting service
because my previous provider closed down, and being occupied with my two
small children. This website was first launched on 11 April 1999.
Today it has some 1966 entries and 1764 photos. It has been a great team work
and a big thank you is well due to all of you listed in the “credit” section
who over the years have contributed both photos and information. Many of you
have been doing this for up to ten years! The backlog for this update includes: A photo of the Norwegian Fw 190 having been assembled
in USA prior to shipment to Norway, where it should have arrived by now.
Thanks Birger Larsen for the update. Kai Frommelt contributed an improved photo of Fw 44
D-EKHD. Ralf Gaida wrote in to tell that his Bü 181 project
D-EKYF is making great progress and is nearing completion. From Roger Soupart came a photo showing the Ju 52
now on display at the Aviodrome in Holland depicting a scenario from 10 May
1940. Albert Zeller added that Bü 133 HB-MKM has been completed
and that Doflug Bü 131 c/n 74 HB-USB is next up for restoration at the Bücker
museum in Switzerland. Thanks for all of these updates! |

The restoration of Bü 181 D-EKYF makes progress as
shown in a newly added photo by Rolf Gaida. Arnt Espen Skipnes writes in regarding the progress
of the restoration of Ca 310 at Stavanger in Norway. Fin, tail and rudder is
completed, waiting for paint, and the fuselage is progressing. Exciting
project going forward! A new photo have been added. It appears like the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum in Bodö
got an early x-mas present with the return of their Ju 88 W.Nr. 1203 from
Hungary. The fitting of cockpit equipment and other parts will start soon.
The result will be very exciting! N1002 G-ATBG have suffered an off airfield landing
as can be seen in a new photo. It suffered minor damage and will be in the
air again during 2009. Many thanks to all of you who have contributed with
bits and pieces of information as well as photos keeping this website

Roger
Soupart contributed a photo of a Fi 103 that has been put on display at DEAG
Museum at Deelen AFB in Netherlands. It was recovered from a crashsite during
2002 and has been restored using mostly original parts. A fantastic piece of
work! He also added a photo of an additional Fi 103 on display at Wings of
Liberation Museum in Best also in Netherlands. Can anyone confirm to what
extent it contains original parts? Continuing
on the theme of Fi 103s Pierre-Olivier Buan sent in two photos of examples on
show at Musée de la Guerre Mondiale de Tosny and the sole example on display
in Switzerland. Andreas
Samuelsson added a photo of a Bf 110 fin that is preserved with a private

Good
respons from the last update! The Ki 43 mentioned in last update was a
replica, while the DFS 230 was the example previously at Wunstorf in Germany.
New updates this time include: Photos of
Bu 131 PP-TEZ currently under restoration in Brazil, thanks to Sergio
Luis dos Santos and Heinz Gerhard Wolf Junior. Clifford Bossie wrote added a photo of Nakajima Ki
43 No 6430 that has been moved from Museum of Flight in Seattle to Pima Air
and Space Museum in Tucson. Wolfgang
Falch of Sandy Air Corp shared a photo of their latest project, Bf 109 G-6
W.nr. 441059. It is a static restoration which looks good! Lastly,
Roger Soupart continues to locate new treasures. He added a Ju 88 Canopy on

all for these updates! |

Long time
no update, but here is one at last! Christoph Westhaus
added a photo of the Hs 293 which has been returned on display at the
Luftwaffe Museum at Gatow and the Nord 1002 No 269 which has been restored
and put on display in Hungary. Robert
Ahlfors sent in a photo of the recently restored Finnish Bristol Blenheim,
which really looks great. Stefan
Schmoll visited Dirk Bende and his company which have acquired Nord 1002 No
78 and No 168, see added photos. Roger
Soupart attended the installation of a DFS 230 at the Eben Emael fortress
museum in Belgium. Can anyone confirm whether or not it is an original frame
or a replica. If the former, which one is it? Richard
Muller shared a photo of a Wasserfall missile that has appeared in the
National Museum of USAF. It is most likely the Wasserfall that was displayed
at the Aberdeen proving ground. Hopefully it can be saved and put on indoor
display in the future. Can anyone
confirm if there is a genuine Nakajima Ki 43 on display outside the Shiran
Museum in Japan? One is on display which looks genuine enough, but I’ve never
heard of it before and it would also be questionable to display it outside
for long term preservation reasons. So I think it could be a replica. Oliver
Canon added some photos of new Ju 52 relics preserved at the museum on Crete Many thanks
for these updates! |

7 June 2008 |
The Museum
of Flights Nakajima Ki 43 has been completed and rolled out. Thanks Dan

Orleans this spring and took some nice photos, among them an air to air photo
of Bü 133 EC-ALP and a photo of CASA 1.131 EC-YTC. If anyone can add the
serial number of the later I'd be gratefull. Raffaello Bisso added a photo of a propeller from a Ju 87 on show at

Museum in Savannah from NASM. Alan Crouchman added photos of CASA 2.111 No. 167 owned by Flying
Heritage Collection and of He 111 W.Nr. 2320 in storage in Berlin. He also added

Museum in Berlin, including remains of the long term Me 262 W.Nr. 111006
project, a He 111 wing, a tail cone from a Ju 90 or 290 (my guess is that it
is from a 290 since it was more numerous), Ju 87 remains possibly recovered
from Africa and some Do 335 tires. The last photo added by Alan shows the sad
remains of the SIPA S.121 (Ar 396) that crashed in France. Dan Wilder shared photos of some of the Ki-43 aircraft under rebuild
with Texas Airplane Factory together with information on their registrations
