  1. A few days ago I intimated on Nigel Heath's excellent Arado E.555 thread that I had something up my sleeve that would seem even more bonkers by comparison and here it is: the Hand and Head kit of the Haunebu II German flying disc design of WW2. I bought the kit for a bit of a laugh and for some light relief from my ongoing Karel Doorman builds and the kit will still serve this purpose. However, I couldn't resist doing a bit of research to see if there was anything out there on the thing and, following reading several books, watching a few documentaries and trawling the interweb, I found to my surprise, that there was more going on than just the "conspiracy theory" I expected to find at best. I was already aware of the BMW series of Flugelrad flying discs (the ridiculous term "flying saucer" was a bad misquotation by the post war American press) but was unaware that the SS also ran two other similar programmes. Research revealed names of scientists involved, eyewitness reports a few distant and grainy photos, as well as a couple of clear fakes, some drawings and pictures of a couple of items of hardware that still exist. It transpires that most of these scientists ended up working for the USA, Canada/UK and the Soviet Union post war and, interestingly, many pictures taken of UFOs in the immediate post war years and some of the know Avro Canada projects bear more than a passing resemblance to some of the wartime photos and drawings that I had come across. This build will have to be mostly OOB along with a bit of detail based on educated guesswork as, sadly, one of the things the SS was particularly adept at was the destruction/hiding away of evidence, leaving us with no detailed pictures of these things and apparently, the detailed information on the post war projects is classified in the US until 2045. So what we seem to have here is not so much a WIFF rather a sort of "How far did they really get?". I will be away a fair bit over the next month so updates might be a bit erratic but let's see how we get on and here are the pictures of the box. Thanks for looking. Martin
