Hi Henning, yes I know and they have actually quite a nice website here, showning their cad pictures and some background info of the G.I.Hi Marcel,
>Nope, only a replica and an original wing
I'm sure you are aware of the Dutch team that is collecting data (and artifacts) for the type in order to prepare CAD drawings that would be suitable for building an accurate flying replica?
I chatted with one of the guys at the RNLAF Open Day a couple of years back and was quite impressed by the thorough and methodical approach they take.
I don't know how probable it is that they will succeed in bringing a newly-constructed G.1 up into the skies, but I'm sure that whatever the final outcome, they are at the very least doing a great job preserving the history of the type.
By the way, have you ever read anything about the pilot's perspective on the aircraft? With Dutch pilots having flown it in combat, and Luftwaffe pilots later having flown it as trainers, I figure there might be the chance that some opinions on the type's flying qualities have been recorded ...
Regards,
Henning (HoHun)
