I think they're in Braunschweig Germany Graham, and they did start with an original cockpit I believe.From what I can see, they also have a 605 they will be installing. The restoration isn't to fly, but then again, when they started , all they were going to do, was refurb a cockpit!
I think it's fantastic personally, and a real inspiration

: If somebody decides to build a warbird from the original p

:
: 1. How much of the aircraft has to be authentic to be call

: ty of these parts have to come from a single original airc
: raft?

: 2. What modifications have to be made to the aircraft to g

: 3. Has anybody in the UK attempted a similar project to th
