Battle Of Britain Hall closing (Stuka pics request)


Ohgr

Recommended Posts

Good Morning Simmers,

 

As you all may have heard the Battle Of Britain Hall is closing this weekend and the Stuka is being disassembled and shipped off to who knows where. Would any of our friends in the UK be able to snap me some last pictures before this happens? I have most of what I need but some close ups would be that much better. What I need is:

 

Wing Control surface Hinges

Underbelly

Cowl intakes and blisters.

 

Anything else is also great! Thanks for your time guys!

Or made to be airworthy!

As far as I've read they managed to get the engine running by the time the Battle of Britan movie was made but the aircraft was found to be in a too poor state to be airworthy.

 

While I certainly would love to see a Stuka flying it's also important to remember it's the last of it's kind, not to mention with the only (potentially running) Jumo 211 engine. It would be a nightmare losing it after 70 years of carefull preservation.

 

Whereever it goes I hope it will be safe where I can visit it someday, not rotting in a warehouse.

I'm sure it'll go to one of the other Imperial War Museums, so it'll probably go to either Duxford or Cosford, or parhaps even Central London.

 

I wish I could have gone to take the shots at Hendon, but it is a long trip from here, and with such short notice, it'd be impossible to arrange a visit in time.

 

Hopefully a Locally based member will see this, and come to the rescue.

 

I'll keep my eyes on the aircraft press to see what their intentions are, but an exhibit as rare as the Stuka is very unlikely to be put into storage.

Check out JU-87 Dive Bomber to Tank Buster by Eddie Creek

 

They have lots of original photos with close ups and technical drawings from the factory handbook. It also includes a few great cockpit shots of the D-5 showing the front and each side. You may also want to get in contact with the writer to see if he'd let you see the source documents because the book covers all models.

Just to nitpick, the Imperial War Museums are entirely separate from the Royal Air Force Museums. The Royal Air Force operates museums at Cosford and Hendon, on behalf of the Royal Air Force itself.

 

The IWM is a group of 5 partially publicly funded museums but now owned by a government entity. They may loan exhibits but they don't share them willy nilly.

Hello there, I'm not 100% sure that's the Ju you're looking for, but I took some (bad) pictures at the London RAF museum a while ago. I'm afraid they won't be of any help, but that's all I got.
