tempestfan Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 AFAIK, most Soviet farms were organised as cooperatives - there probably wasn't "the " farmer on "his" farm. Possibly a Colchose of aero enthusiasts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Interesting! How much does an oligarch need to put a 110 back in the air! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Thompson Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Is that a 1932 Duesenberg peeking out from behind that barn door?! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisTheBear Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Ahh, darn! Only thing in my back shed is cobwebs, which look like they've been there since the war. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 That pic of the 110 reminds me awfully of one when Jim Pierce (?) went public with his project. Very loosely, this might have been early '90s. Don't know anything about the Fw (and may not know anything about the 110, either!) bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Smith Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 The mention of Jim Pierce, who recovered a load of planes, and he was based in Sussex. (this looks like Sussex)..bit more googling http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?48063-1990-s-Me-110-recovery http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?41518-Deutsches-Technikmuseum-Berlin&highlight=me110%20berlin I also remember seeing pictures of one of the Bf110's laid out at Jim's workshop, it looked remarkably complete, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Well if he wants to fly that 110, it needs to be on the civil register. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 The Fw190 looks like it was only shot down yesterday! It looks so fresh for having survived 70 odd Russian winters, amazing. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Proulx Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 The 190 pics have been published some time ago in the Luftwaffe Im Focus series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jure Miljevic Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Exactly, Mark. According to caption, photos had been taken during late summer 1945 near Reims, France. Presumed unit to which the plane belonged to is given as 2/JG11. Cheers Jure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaCee26 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Is that a 1932 Duesenberg peeking out from behind that barn door?! John John, 1932 certainly but unfortunately it is a Maybach Zeppelin. Cheers, AaCee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
