    How cool! What an amazing sight, although it was no more than a "Wright-hub". Can't wait to see this bird at airshows here!

    Hello, Mott !

    This is the protype from FlugWerk in Germany - the hope is that they will build others to order. I think that rather deep pockets will be needed. Have a look at their website ; -

    good to see some favourable response on this thread. Currently there at least 3-4 Fw 190A's in preparation for flight as well as a reworked Bf 110G-4 being rebuilt from orginal nachjager parts and a radar set included........this could be wild. Now to get the lancs up with this little bugger flying in between, diving up from underneath. Can imagin how this would go over at an airshow ? Anywhwere ?..........ugh it would be a thrill !

    Closest I have come to such a sight was a mock fight between a Harvard and a Ju52...

    Guess who 'won'...

    We get mock combats between replica WW1 fighters from time to time but thats about it, though sometimes at Duxford they get the fighters doing Strafing runs and so on.
