I've previously had contact with Nick but if anyone hasn't seen this, it's well worth a few minutes of your time. The modelling is just superb.

Coming along nicely this is the original Fl 282 on display at the Midland Air Museum at Coventry Airport, taken in 2018 that Nick mentions in his posts above.

Vertical Rewind: Spoils of War

In the 1930s, Germany was home to a burgeoning and innovative helicopter industry, whose development was further fueled by World War II. As the war drew to a close, the Allies raced to secure the technology for their own purposes.

Hopefully not too off topic and of some interest. Anton Flettner was born in Eddersheim, Germany. His grave, and also the house in which he was born, is there too. I live about 15 minutes from Eddersheim and, appropriately, fly RC helicopters in a sports hall nearby. The photo was taken 17th November 2023

Just as an aside.....I am also only 20 minutes away from Manfred von Richtofen's grave in Wiesbaden.
