well..you found it now pal. and i hope you enjoy the pictures

here is the flak 38 wagon before restoration..64 years outside did its toll.. and also the numbers of layers of paint from ww2 ( that help preserved it ) one can clearly see the different colours used

we went for the first original black/grey antrasit armour paint from 1940

and after some research we also found out what flakgroups took part in the invasion of Norway so we decided to go for flakregiment 79 ( the bird in the shield )

WOW, that's a heck of a job on the Flak!

Sometimes it's neat just pealing away the layers of material and debris to see whats underneath it all isn't it?

Excellent work with the restoration.

Thanks guys

and yes..i just love that part..and then bringing them back to their former glory

its really rewarding in its own way. the flak itself has been on display for some time also..BUT with the norwegian colours painted on after the war..so it is now undergoing full restoration ( dismanteled it today ) so it can go on display with the trolley as it was back in 1940

Hey, the Ju 88 has a white walled tire - and I know what it means from this board!

keeping track here in here i see

and yes..that i forgot in between al the other projects going on..we also got a PT-26 in a little while ago ( been on another museum in oslo for ages and it was transfeered to us ) it was on of the originals used in Canada during WW2 to train norwegian pilots in camp Little Norway ( Ontario )

here i am trying to sort out the last small fairings after it was put back togheter..just to bad that somebody stole the pitot tube when it was stored in parts.. maybe anybody can help ?
its now on display next to the Pt-19. they do make a lovely pair

I will get a few more shots of this bird one of the following days if it is of any interest

Your pics of the C130 seats brought back nasty memories of going deaf/insane stuck in one for hours. RAF didn't bother with soundproofing.

RabidAlien · 11-03-2009, 08:50 AM

Dang, Junkers....you do this full-time, or is it a part-time volunteer thing? I'm thinkin it might be a good idea to donate some of my Saturdays to the (relatively) local air museum over in Addison...

Also, whaz the story with the white-walled tires? I've never heard that one...

DerAdlerIstGelandet · 11-03-2009, 09:01 AM

I am seriously a bit jealous. Like I said in another thread, I am an A&P, so I want to see if I can volunteer my serviced in helping restore old warbirds when I return to the states.

it started out 12 years ago as a volenteer and now i am the project manager on the restoration of the Ju 88 a1 we salvaged and also in charge of the preservation and "updates" ( add-on of missing parts ) and completion of other german aircrafts and WW2 equioment we have in the museum

the story on the whitewall..hehe
read this but i must warn you..it may sound far off and fetch..but when you get further out in the thread..you will see and understand the whole thing..and all german aircrafts had white wall rear tires for a very good reason

beeing a volunteer might take you places you never imagined.. but it all depends on how much volenteer one is..we have many that comes and go..we always start by telling them to start cleaning the floor..if they are really dedicated they do so.. and advance..i started myself cleaning hangarfloors and dusting of the aircrafts

and a A&P..well..that is a good thing as people with skills are always needed

keep up that thought

today i have mostely worked on the Ju 88 trimtab systems.. just the main box has taken a whole day to take apart and put back togheter in working condition. and the rods and those #"¤% conections are up next..they are timeconsuming
