Europe Trip #22: IWM Duxford - 3 - Static Restorations

One of the hangers I wandered in to [yes, it was open to the public] contained a small number of restoration projects in various states of repair.

This hanger helped to reinforce to me just how much work they put into their aircraft. The first aircraft is on the way, the second and third looks really good and the fourth and fifth look like they are waiting for someone to get interested :-)

Anyway, here they are. Top to bottom are:

Heinkel He 111, WW2 Luftwaffe medium bomber
Junkers Ju52/3m [2 pictures], WW2 Luftwaffe bomber/ transport aircraft
Mil Mi 24 'Hind', Soviet heavy attack helicopter
FMA 1A58 Pukara, Argentinean light turboprop ground attack aircraft [acquired during the Falklands conflict]
