Found this on the Me262 today, my new boss of the department seems to be well into WWII planes, i've just spent most of lunch time talking about Forgotten Battles and Duxford a few weeks back and he's been going on about how he sat in a real ME262 - original and thats why he loves this restoration project.

Damn interesting read, but the site is a bit slow...

subtle primer application



gawd....fancy having a boss into WW2 planes

I'll have a bit of that please

[Dakaras]

LOL I was never appreciated whwn I was a boss

Yes this does rock rather a lot, spend 40minutes later in the afternoon talking about different planes, how he was in the RAF for years, about what he flew etc etc. Nothing like a spitfire but damn interesting never the less.

Plus funniest thing is he's now looking at buying il2 FB and AEP

there was a tv show the other day whrer a guy is building 4 full scale flyable me 262s. the first one was 2 seater for training purposes, he is selling them . they are built from original plans

Got another update not on the site, its made another flight wheels down and its first wheels up flight is planned soon. A second 262 is hoped to be flyable in next few months I so wish we could see one in UK. be something to see the worlds first combat jet in the sky

No doubt mate - if it does fly, fly well, and more importantly survives... it WILL be seen in airshows around the world... it's just waaaaay too important a piece of history to not do it
