Junkers Ju 88 A-1 undergoing restoration in Norway 

Thats fantastic!

That’s awesome

@Zion Hezekiah same post every time no one cares about our gf Instagram account

@Deangelo Junior same reply to zion account

It would be good if you were donated a microphone so that you can add words

It's cool thay got a pic before she went under .what's the odds Yea cool plane Hi from canada🇨🇦

My great grandfather was a Bordwart (mechanic who was allowed to taxi the aircraft and who took on flights) on the night fighter type G-1. He didn't survive the war as he died in September 1944. The Ju 88G-1 got shot down by a British night fighter. He died on impact on ground.

@@Entity282 thanks for sharing his story

@@Entity282 My Grandfarther was a Pilot of the nightfighter version in WW2. Thank god he survived the war.

Maybe with the sponsorship they could make improvements to the mistakes in their models!

@@jandoernte8970 The whole reason the Reveel logo is there is because Revell's 1:32 JU88 A-1 kit is based on this salvaged example.

@Carbonsnail Many restorations are privately owned and privately funded.

+Michael Naisbitt True, but if multiple examples exist then it is easier to put one in the air. One flying museum has a Ju-88 wreck so we can see what they do with it. It is difficult enough to put a single-engine German fighter in the air and it will be more expensive to restore any twin to flying status .

If they have the means to restore it from an absolute decrepit wreck pulled from a lake bed to airworthy status then it would be a shame not to fly them every now and again. Surely if they could restore it from such a state they can accept the risk of normal wear and maintenance for the rare flight. An aircraft meant to fly, not to sit as a shell in a museum.

Connor M I couldn’t agree more But if the aircraft is the last of its type as is this case with the Ar 234b and Do 335 and He 219. Then is it worth the risk. Taking into account the amount of new material that would have to made and used to get it airworthy. There is still the possibility of an accident I know there is a complete Ju 88 in a British museum but there are no plans to get it airworthy just because of logistics and it’s rarity. There are plans to make a replica Do 335 to flying condition why not this aircraft. All the best

@@michaelnaisbitt1639 We may see an He-111 and a Ju-88 in the next 15-20 years, but they are slow and expensive projects. An Arado 234? Unlikely unless it's a replica. Too bad the US Navy decided to dump their two examples into the water. A replica Do-335 would be cool, and there are handful of DB-603 engines around that are not being used. But there just isn't much leftovers around to support many German restorations to flying status unless somebody makes the components in a shop;

When the plane perhaps you mean

@@markmitchell450 "Planes" -Sorry!

Wait why there are two minde

+ John Cook There are more planes at the bottom of that lake. A beautiful He-111 was also raised from the same lake and it is in Germany for a museum preservation. And other freshwater lakes in Europe will have other examples. Permission to salvage is up to the local authorities and some don't want them disturbed. Some aircraft most likely still have live munitions also.

Sorry but the ‘flying pencil’ was a different aircraft; Dornier 217 which had a long thin rear fuselage with twin vertical stabilisers. Same era though

@@paulsingleton5411 THOUGHT THAT WAS THE DO 17

patrick robinson You are quite correct Patrick

Its not a Flying Pencil. That was a Dornier 17. This is a JU88. Completely different.

+valdohightower Detail photos of components being cleaned show corrosion in the electrics. I doubt the restoration will apply any power to components since the rebuild is for static display.

I have a piece of Britain in my Ju-88.

+Obikyama Not this one. It was being restored along with another Ju-88 for static display.

+ Zhonguroia There are more aircraft at the bottom of those lakes if there is interest and the local governments will give permission to remove them. The biggest obstacles are potential live ammo that would have to be disabled and preventing any fuel or oil from spilling. Experienced recovery groups would be required.

+James Janssen Unfortunately it will not fly. There is another Ju-88 wreck that may be restored to fly with another collector sometime in the future.

One Heinkel 111 was also salvaged. This was Werk Nr. 2320, call sign 6N+NH. I am not 100% sure, but I think this aircraft was sent to the German Museum of Technology in Berlin. The Heinkel was in a remarkable condition after being underwater for over 60 years. Markings and callsigns were clearly visible. Oberst Arthur von Casimir, the last pilot who flew this aircraft before it sank, was present when the aircraft was salvaged, he was then 96 years old. He died in 2005. Here is a picture of von Casimir from that day: ju88.net/recovery/he111/twohappyguys.jpg and another one of the aircraft ju88.net/recovery/he111/he111fmu.JPG

@@erlendlundvall Good to see that the old fellow got to see his plane one more time and remember.

​@@jessestout6119 Glad you liked it!

+@Th.M. It is looking nice. I would say that the work has been more archeological than a full restoration. Every component is getting cleaned and conserved and put back together. scontent-atl3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.18172-8/17635162_1092836320862408_3535930622630989713_o.jpg?_nc_cat=104&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=7f8c78&_nc_ohc=Ij7GwnWEebQAX9yMEjs&_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-2.xx&oh=00_AfCB4ej09gA0QQZYGmg6jPHbEUWNnT1lznc3Byn6c06WLQ&oe=656A348E

+ Angels One-Five There are other aircraft at the bottom of Jonsvatnet and other lakes. I think Jonsvatnet has another Ju-88 (badly damaged), Bf-109 and a Ju-87. Local permission for any recovery can be difficult, although a very intact He-111 was also raised with the Ju-88. The He-111 is getting conservation work in Germany.

+BILL MILLER Not flyable. There are several Ju-88s being restored but none to fly, although one museum is rumored to have a wreck for a future flying rebuild.

Only static display. Too valuable to fly, I guess.

@@jessestout6119 Static display means that the aircraft will be exhibited on the ground only, not flown like many other world war two era aircraft in museums.

@@jessestout6119 LIKE MOST A/C IN MUSEUM'S TODAY. THEY DON'T FLY, NOT IN FLYABLE CONDITION. JUST SITTING THERE FOR YOU TO SEE. :)

@@jessestout6119 There are "static" restored examples that were rebuilt to airworthy standards but are not flown. They would need some work and a looking over, systems, fluids, etc to be safe to fly. Sometimes preservatives and inhibitors are inside the engines to prevent corrosion and moisture. The engine is critical and a flight certified engine is gone over a lot more carefully and tested thoroughly on the ground rather than an engine that was just restored to original condition for a museum.

+SR71ABCD - BETA TYSON No Ju-88 is airworthy at this time, and none are even in taxi condition. It is possible there may be one years from now, but just unconfirmed rumor.

+rinuncular too There is website that links to several Ju-88 and He-111 rebuilds, although I'm not sure how up-to-date it is. (I'm pretty sure that the website is behind on the progress.) The Lake Jonsvatnet recoveries were remarkable, and it is a bit of shame that they will not fly because they are in very good condition for a rebuild. www.ju88.net/

A lot of aircraft operated in and around Norway's waterways during the "Norwegian Campaign", and through the occupation, either using frozen lakes as in the case of the Ju 88 and He 111, or seaplane bases that operated the He 115 seaplane one of which crash on landing at its base, and was recently recovered. Another land plane recovered in 1999 was the long extinct Fw 200 Condor, which crash into Trondheim's fjord in 1942 due to a technical fault. This aircraft is well advanced in its restoration by Airbus in Bremen Germany. Some allied aircraft have also been recovered and put on display thanks to the efforts of the RAF and other restoration teams around the world.

@@timorvet1 Those freshwater lakes will have a lot of well-preserved examples if there is local support to get them out. And if heritage/preservation laws don't prevent some from being exported to private collectors and restored to flying. The Jonsvatnet He-111 would have been a beautiful flying example.

@@FiveCentsPlease A Halifax comes to mind that was recently discovered. An aircraft up until the early 70s didn't exist as a complete airframe. Now we have two that were rescued from underwater with the possibility of a third? Oh for a Stirling to be found in one these fjords how good would that be!

@@timorvet1 A Stirling was located in Hølen Lake, Norway in the 1980s but salvage efforts were abandoned. Today there is probably better equipment and technology to raise it if the money is there. There should be some really good examples of many types in the those freshwater lakes.

@@FiveCentsPlease Was there? interesting, possibly a later model used to drop supplies to resistance groups? I knew of one in the North Sea but it was to far gone to warrant a recovery.

+shoe 22 Not a flying restoration. Although there is one future possibly rumored to be with another museum.

+daystatesniper01 The freshwater lakes and fjords will be the best source for rare types that were ditched or went through the ice. But local officials need to approve search and recovery, address concerns of water pollution, unstable ammo, etc. imgproc.airliners.net/photos/airliners/3/9/8/0659893.jpg?v=v40 Regarding Russia, examples will be in freshwater lakes or remote areas. Stalin wanted to rebuild the Russian military after WW2 and gave explicit orders to scrap everything for raw materials to build newer equipment.

+Jan Doernte The Fw-190 and Me-262 were remade in very small numbers for the collector market, but these were special projects. There really isn't a sustainable supply of engines to keep new ones in the air. And even if many of the manufacturing challenges can be overcome, they are still not very affordable to insure, repair, and fuel to keep flying except for wealthy collectors and well-funded museums. Operating costs are in the thousands per hour.

@@FiveCentsPlease I don’t see engine availability as an issue since non original radial engines can be purchased. The real cost is the labor in building a limited production replica. How many can you sell and at what price to recoup the tooling costs alone?

@@frankbutaric3565 The Shvetsov radials were manufactured into the 1970s I think, and probably the last big cubic inch radial manufactured in quantity. There is a stockpile of NOS parts to support WW2 radials but that is getting smaller, with some manufacturing of rings, barrels, bearings, etc. There isn't that much German stuff around, in spite of surprising number that are turning up to support various restorations. Manufacturing of major assemblies isn't happing right now, complicated because the license and patents for those the major engines are still owned. So long-term I see more aircraft parked on the ground or not flown much. Looking from the customer side of things and how many you can sell, today's owner is looking for authenticity and an investment. For example, the new-build Me-262s were limited to five specifically to guarantee to the buyers that those airframes would not lose value. Better 3D modeling is greatly reducing the costs for tooling and manufacturing airframes, but you still have a relatively small number of customers and museums buying vintage aircraft. It's about money and antiques are a less desirable equity investment for big portfolios.

You really need to read the laws in Germany on the swastika. If its for historical or educational use then it is allowed. Educate yourself, read.

Love2FlyKAP you really need to get yourself a sense of humour mate! I think most folks got that it was a joke.

I don't think the Nazis were promoting Buddhism!

If it is legal for historical use in Germany, they should put swastikas on the three me109's they got in Germany at hangar10

Actually, the Nazi swastika is a reversed swastika.

Old, bald fat man It’s a literal treasure trove.

+Old, bald fat man Both the Middle East and the South Pacific are tricky politically, with unstable governments. Import/export paperwork can also be troublesome for warplanes still considered a "weapon of war" on paper. Both the Middle East and the South Pacific have also been scrapped out except for hard-to-reach areas or hidden relics. Forgotten scrap dumps have yielded some surprises. Historians have been searching for several Seafires that were known to be in Syria and derelict perhaps into the 1970s or 1980s, but again the political situations there are fluid and tricky.

Sorry für mein schlechtes Deutsch, aber was ist ein "Technokrat"? Nennst du mich einen Technokraten? Wenn Ihnen die Musik nicht gefällt, können Sie die Stummschalttaste verwenden.

@@erlendlundvall Ein Technokrat ist ein Mensch, der nur auf Technik fixiert ist und dem jede Ambition fehlt für Poesie, und Kreativität im Sinne von kulturellem Schaffen. Ein Terchnokrat ist ein Mensch, der nur Zahlen sieht und Funktionen. Es macht keinen Sinn Musik auszublenden, sondern es ist bei der Umsetzung, bzw. Präsentation wichtig, professionell zu arbeiten, wie in jedem Handwerk.Die Techniker sind gut beraten Fachleute aus dem Kreativbereich einzubinden, wenn sie ein Produkt präsentieren wollen. Beides schliesst einander aus.Ein Techniker kann in der Regel keinen Film produzieren. Und der Filmemacher muss in der Lage sein, ein Produkt, seinen singulären Wert und seine emotionale Wirkung in Bild und Ton umzusetzen. Die meisten Videos dieser Art leiden darunter, dass sich Laien zutrauen Filme zu produzierencund das geht meist schlecht aus. Bei Privatvideos von der Familie , den Kindern, ect ist das egal. Aber ein Film aus dem Technik Bereich oder dem musealen Bereich muss gut sein. Sagen wir diplomatisch, Sie haben sich bei einer wichtigen Botschaft übernommen. Darüberhinaus meinen Respekt über die hervorragende Arbeit in Norwegischen Museen. Gruss aus Tirol

+Salmon RushDIe There may be chance for another J-88 wreck to be rebuilt to airworthy at another museum, and possibly an He-111. Consider that it's difficult and expensive enough to get the German single-engine types restored (few parts, expensive to fix) so getting a twin flying will be challenging. Money-wise, funding a German twin would also pay for several single-engine fighters for a growing collection.
