Flew into Southend from Calais on 1st June 1972 and installed in the Historic Aircraft Museum. Reported at the time as built in Prague in 1943, ex-OE-ADR. Doubts at the time over its c/n, quoted as either "3812" or "110094" ex-Swedish AF Fv3812". Subsequently painted in Luftwaffe colours as "CB-VD". Sold for £24,000 at the Philip's auction on 10th May 1983 when the museum closed. Displayed at the Whitehall Theatre of War and then sold to Kermit Weeks for his Fantasy of Flight Museum.

Unfortunately I know little of this aircraft and the picture. The silo in the background shows 'Hermann Müller Zement', so it was taken in West Germany, probably in the Eiffel region. The identity of the aircraft is blurry. According to the Swedish Svensk Flyghistorisk Forum this is former Swedish AF No.3812 and Austria OE-ADR, making it c/n 110064. If correct, then this aircraft is in now in the Kermit Weeks collection. Photo via G. Bouma

There is some debate about this Storch's true identity, but it is thought to be c/n 110064. It was sold for £24000 at the Philip's auction on 10 May 1983, then went to the USA where it became N2405P. This registration was cancelled on 11 February 2011. It was apparently delivered new to the Royal Swedish Air Force as Fv.3812. Other IDs suggested are D-EYWB (prior to delivery to Sweden) and N464FB. (It was reported in Wrecks & Relics 10 to have gone to the USA as N156FS after the closure of the Whitehall Theatre of War, but this has the c/n 4642.)

Used RAF serial VP546 during evaluation.

Flying from RNAS Ford, Lt.Cdr.Eric Brown used it for deck landings on HMS Triumph 28/29 May 1946, the only German aircraft to have landed on a RN aircraft-carrier.

This Storch was 3818 of the Swedish AF and subsequently also wore the civil registrations OE-LDO, D-ELYN and D-ENPE. It is now on display in the WWII Gallery at this super museum.

This Storch originally flew with the Luftwaffe as RN+VJ and the with the Swiss AF. It was firstly preserved at the museum in Dübendorf but has now transferred to Lucerne.

This is an original Storch built in Kassel in 1944. Version D-2 was an air ambulance aircraft for the transportation of two stretchers and a seat for the paramedic behind the pilot. After the war the plane was acquired by the Air Fighter Academy and fully restored in 2017. It is now part of this collection of airworthy warbirds at EDAH.
