13 July 2006	Just returned from some vacation in Europe, among other things I visited Flying Legends Air Show at Duxford - which was really, really great! (as usual! ;-). I've added a photo of the now air worthy Buchon C.4K-102, G-BWUE which made one of its first public displays.
12 June 2006	Brad Smith has visited Pima Air & Space Museum and taken photos of the Fi 103A-1 now on display there and a German designed solid fuel RATO unit also on display there. Can anyone ID the two different types of RATO units currently listed in the /engine/rocket/ section? Thijs Lepstra Sent in photos from RAF Museum Cosford one of a previously unlisted missile which looks very much like a EMW C2 Wasserfall but much smaller. Can someone ID it? The second photo is of another solid fuel rocket, also of unknown origin (at least to me). For the time being I've added this engine to the other unidentified RATO units. Ok, who will be the first to correctly identify these entries!? Thijs also added a photo of a BMW 003 engine at RAF Museum Cosford. Thank you both for these additions and challenges!

It's history is for the moment sketchy but I hope to be able to add more to it soon. It has been mounted outside, standing on a concrete foundation for many years, but has been removed now.

They are forced to leave the air field since it is about to close, as soon as they're Certificates of Airworthines has been approved they can move out. LV-YYU is interesting since it has been fitted with Warner engine as a substitute of the now all to difficult to acquire Sh 14 engine. Photos of both have been added. Thor Broen added a photo of the KG 4 unit marking which has now been added to the nose of the He 111P 5J+CN at Gardemoen. See photo to the left.

It was found in a barn (yes it possible to do such discoveries still!). On the aft section of the frame the small triangular ID plate is still attached how ever it is hard to make out the W.Nr. with any certainty, but it looks like it is W.Nr. 2200 or 2299. Roy Fox sent in a photo of his Klemm L 25dII VH-UUR which he operates from Wiseman's Ferry outside Sydney. Many thanks to you both!
12 February 2006	Wolfgang Falch added a new photo of the Ju 52 W.Nr. 6888 cockpit under restoration. Laurent Missiaen sent in a photo of an engine panel for what we believe is a Henschel Hs 126. Can anyone confirm that the part is from that type? The photo is in the relic section.
5 February 2006	Birger Larsen sent in a photo of the Ju 88D-1 under restoration in Hungary. The photo was taken on 26th of January this year, showing the progress of the project. Not to far from Stockholm are three Klemm kl 35 under restoration. They are Kl 35D SE-BHD, SE-BGA and SE-AKN. The later is the sole preserved Klemm whic was originaly fitted with a hood.
