Fieseler Fi 156 Storch (Stork)
Designed in 1935, The Storch (Stork) was widely used during WW2 by the German Military for reconnaissance, liaison and casualty transportation. Designed at the outset as a STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) machine, its ability to operate out of very small fields is legendary. A combination of leading edge slats, flaps and drooping ailerons give it an incredibly low stalling speed. However, the design creates a lot of drag, resulting in a very modest 93mph cruising speed. Burning 65 litres per hour, it uses more fuel per mile than The Collections Spitfire. The Stork name, derived from its long shock-absorbing undercarriage, is highly appropriate. The most famous Storch Mission was the hazardous rescue of deposed Italian Dictator Benito Mussolini from his 9000ft high mountain-top prison in the Gran Sasso Massif in Italy. The landing site was but a tiny, rock-strewn ledge. It is also noteworthy that Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel had a Storch as his personal plane in North Africa, operating routinely from improvised desert strips. The last act of fame by a Storch was a flight by Hanna Reisch to Hitlers bunker in the middle of Berlin 26 April 1945. THIS EXHIBIT G-STCH Werke No. 2088 was built in 1943 by Fieseler Werke GMBH. It is a rare survivor of the early A-model. Regrettably, as is often the case with Luftwaffe aircraft, details of its wartime career are as yet unknown. As was the case with many Storch, the aircraft had a long post-war career as a French glider tug. Acquired as a basket case by RLM Aviation Fairoaks, its restoration was well advanced when ownership passed to Peter Holloway in December 06. After being fully restored the aircraft made its maiden flight on 11th March 2009. SPECIFICATION Engine One Argus As 10C-3 of 240 hp Maximum speed: 109 mph Cruising speed: 93 mph Span: 46 ft. 9 in.

Messerschmitt Bf109E White 4
Audio recording of Flight Lieutenant Richard Hillary recalling his first day in action as a Spitfire pilot August 1940. The E-3 (serial number 1190) was based at Marquise-Est and belonged to 4/JG 26 during September 1940. When it was shot down above Beachy Head, it was coded as "white 4". The pilot, Horst Perez, managed to belly-land his plane and survived. His plane first was transferred to Farnborough, later it was shown in Canada and the USA. In 1968, the plane - now quite dilapidated - returned to Britain and a private person started to restore the plane. Since the year 2000, the plane is displayed, laying on its belly in a belly-landing scene. For quite a time, the engine hood was missing. A new one was manufactured and the plane was completed. You may visit the plane at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford.

Messerschmitt Bf109E
During the early war years the Bf109 was one of the world's finest single seat fighters. Its basic design provided the potential for it to take new engines and armament so that it remained the backbone of the Luftwaffe fighter forces throughout World War Two. The Bf109E was an improved version of an aircraft designed by Willi Messerschmitt in 1935. It had proved to be a superb fighter during early combat trials in the Spanish Civil War. Only when German fighter pilots met the Spitfire in combat did they find an aircraft in some ways equal to their own. The Bf109E was as fast as the Spitfire, faster than the Hurricane but could out-climb both. Although a superb fighter it, like most of its contemporaries, was under-gunned (a deficiency which was not remedied until the introduction of the Bf109G) and had poor ground handling characteristics. Perhaps its worst handicap, during the Battle of Britain, was its limited fuel capacity. This meant limited range and endurance so, they could only remain over the United Kingdom for a few minutes of combat before having to break off the engagement and return to base. With mounting medium bomber losses the Luftwaffe introduced a fighter-bomber version in October 1940.

MESSERSCHMITT BF (ME) 109 VISITS THE UK 2010 (airshowvision)
Airshowvision presents the first chance in many years to see a Messerschmitt BF109 land on English soil (in friendly circumstances!), and take part with its' contemporaries the Hurricane, Spitfire and Buchon, in the 70th anniversary commemorations. Sadly the aircraft didn't perform a solo display, which would probably have been the highlight of the UK airshow season, but it was special to hear the growl of a Daimler Benz engine taking to the English skies once more
