I uploaded my photos from the "Deutsches Museum" to the webshots community.

It's under "Hobbies & Interests"/"Airplanes".

Darn i feel silly posting the same stuff on different boards.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Very Nice Sascha!

Usually like my LW planes with a Revi Reflector site ring around them n debris flying back in the slip stream as those HS20mm converge.. other than that, great pics!

You Must Must get yourself and Uta over to Duxford UK on a Flying day, personally I think they do the best Warbird flying in the world, I now live in California and nothing here comes close, although Reno is pretty awesome! the Museum is pretty awesome there too, it's a living WWII airbase

..I digress they had two now only one (after they bent Black 6) flying 109s with Original DB engines, the sound is awesome and evil, that whistling howl!!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

i love flying the 109,(when not being patriotic and flying a Spit) it's one of the most charismatic planes in WB, but the only sim that's really done justice to the 109's uniqueness in my opinion is Janes WWII Fighters, they've got that sound perfectly...Will Aces High capture the evocative and individual sounds of the Merlin, Griffon, Napier Sabre(please please) DB & BMW, Twin Wasp and Allison? Eh Natedog?

262 UTA great plane!...I'll send you a pic of my Allied Bird some time  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Yes shame on you.. a top target Duxford! obviously no LW bomber pilot  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

It's near Cambridge less than an hours train ride from London (I think, it's while since I've been back to the  UK)and there's a bus directly from Cambridge rail station, can any UK readers confirm this for Sascha?

The new the 8th airforce hall designed by Architect Norman Foster is supposed to be incredible!! according to a Yank friend of mine who's just been there, i haven't seen it yet (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

Actually directions should be below:

And for your interest:

If you are going soon? let me know because there's lots of other cool aviation stuff for aircraft nuts like us in the UK.
