Original M-S A-1 built in 1917. Flown by Charles Nungesser and continued to be airworthy until 1996.

Sukhoi Su-24M2 Fencer used as a testbed.

The Fw 190 has longer legs than Marlene Dietrich, so thanks to the friendly custodian for letting me use the museum's stepladder. This reconstructed aircraft bears the markings of 6./JG I, based at Salzwedel in 1944.

More a patrol and training aircraft than a fully fledged bomber, the Ca.313 attracted large orders from France and Britain, but these were cancelled by Italy's entry in WWII. A 900-aircraft German order also remained largely unfulfilled. Delivery of 84 machines to Sweden was completed, however. Here the Caproni was reputed to be a flying coffin. The cabin of this one does appear to be alarmingly flimsy, but this is only a non-airworthy flying replica, containing a few original parts. In fact I'm told the aircraft was quite good in itself, but suffering from unreliable engines and systems.
