Bye Stuka!

Interesting, to say the least.

Those Stukas sure look like they're in rough shape...

Are they are on thier way to be scrapped?

 

[vikingBerserker]

How depressing.

Wonder where those Stukas were heading ? To the junkyard, or to a factory to be refurbished ? It appears the pic
was taken in Germany, because of the AA railcar sitting on the siding. Good pic !

I suspect they were on thier way to be scrapped just be looking at the contents of the railcar in the foreground that the Stuka is resting on...it looks like scrap metal just crammed in there.

Just found this thread Paul, great theme! Lots of posts by people not seen for a long time. If your RR dream is still alive I'll see if I can find some photos.

Thanks Geo, dream is still there just not the cash. Its either collect books or do the rail road thing. Maybe some day but still out there and still collecting pictures, please feel free to add pictures as others may need them. I just add as I find them

Sweet picture, never saw that one!!!

 

[GrauGeist]

Regarding the Stukas Paul posted a while back, they must be going to the scrapyard.

I have two illustrations regarding the proper transportation of a Stuka by rail:

Verladung von Flugel und Leitwerksteile

Verladung von Rumpf-Fahrwerk und Luftschraube

Sweet, kind of nice resurrecting old threads as new stuff comes up all the time

Good one Dave. Must keep Rumpfs and Flügels firmly attached if they're new
