I really like the civil exhibits in their correct historical looks. D-ANAF was delivered to Lufthansa in 1961 looking like this, the titles were updated around 1967. By january 1969 just 7 years after delivery it was taken out of service. It then became an instructional airframe for Lufthansa Technicians. First in Nora c/s then in several different Lufthansa c/s. I remember just being able to see it from the viewing area at Frankfurt in the early 90s. In 2012 it moved to the Museum at Speyer. Now it flies in close formation with the Lufthansa B747-200. They are the outdoor center piece here.

This Junkers 52 was one of many that sank in the first summer of WWII in a lake near Hartvikvatnet in Norway. This one is one of several that were salvaged in 1980s. Now preserved in Speyer. This side carries code VB-JA the other side has code CA-JY. This RH side is more difficult to photograph, as it is close to the wall of this hangar and looking up you are blinded by the light coming though the glass roof.

Ex East German Air Force An26 #375 operated from 1980 until 1988. In the Museum since 1993. You can enter the airplane which is representing a government plane with a car loaded on the main deck and a small seating lounge.

Right above the entrance to the Technik Museum in Speyer. This sure gets you excited to go in and admire more classic planes !

Happy to have a photo of the VFW614 without a slide sticking out the side. Crews are working on the airplane to keep it in good condition for the museum. For this the airplane has been taken down and is placed in the main carpark in front of the museum. One last request for the painter who will repaint the Cimber Air colours, please put a registration on it, just for the avgeeks!

This thing is BIG !! First flight of this An-22 was in 1966 as CCCP-56391, last flight landed here at the airfield in Speyer just behind the museum in 1999. I still remember seeing this one operational in Europe in the 90s

It looks like this DC-3 is being kept in good condition. Compared to earlier photos we see that in the most recent repaint of this DC-3 the registration size has been reduced. Now it wears a modern day type of registration, rather than the huge traditional French registrations.

Really 63-7423 painted to represent an aircraft of the Blue Angels.

Preserved at Technik Museum Speyer from 1989.
