One of those was on display, along with a V1, in FortWayne
,Indiana,
after the war. It was a traveling display showing captured
items.

This one's at the National Air & Space Museum


And here's one at the RAF Museum, Cosford.



Excellent picture. Thanks for posting. The Cosford museum looks
like a well maintained collection. Any more photographs?


Hi Charles,

I'm glad you like it. That's a real "mists of time" job as I last
visited there in August 2008, which was when I took that picture.

I did publish my pictures shortly afterwards.

Given changing times and a better camera than I could even have
dreamt of then, I think that another visit is in order!

Watch this space.


Thanks Ricardo, I always look forward to your posts.


Thank you Charles, blush, your comment is much appreciated!

Remember reading that Germany was having a hard time getting test
pilots to fly the -163. It got to the point where thepilots had a
choice: fly it or go to the eastern Front.

If the peroxide tank hadn't been cleaned properly, the plane became
a bomb. The other fuel had the habit of desolving skin if it
touched the skin.


C-Stoff + T-Stoff = Bla-Stoff.


GEE THANKS!

NOW I GOTTA CLEAN HALF-CHEWED CHEERIOS OUTTA MY KEYBOARD.


Mea culpa.

I tend to eat at the computer - I figure I'm keeping the keyboard
manufacturers afloat with my frequent replacements.
