Thursday Challenge : ABANDONED (Buildings, Cars, Things in Disrepair,…)
Three weeks back I had gone to RAF centre and found this amazing story .. I know the topic says abandoned or things in disrepair, this one although was abandoned and in disrepair , but people are working hard to repair it all … This is the world’s Last surviving Dornier Do 17 This one was recovered from the sea bed and Moved , now they are under this temporary sheds and citric acid is being showered , the pics haven’t come out good because of all the steam in the sheds..
Fuselage with the TailPlane
Wings – Engine and Main Wheels
As you Read it will take 2 to 3 years for the whole process to get rid of all the erosion etc and for the whole of this to be put together. You will have to click on the picture above and zoom it to read , Sorry if you are unable to read it properly
Here is the Story that the historians are trying to figure out ..
Me and My Random Thoughts 
I guess this was the war in which the English had the advantage of spotting advancing German planes on a RADAR and hence they were able to successfully defend themselves. I guess this was also the most crucial part/turning point of the English-German conflict at that time.

Not sure about that DI, but these were the german bombers that were raiding britian from nearby places, this one abvisouly flew from belgium.. the british has their spitfires and hurricanes. It probably was as you say .. you have more knowledge on this than me , I just read about this restoration and put the pic up.. for the theme. 🙂

I don’t know much about war planes. But must admire them for trying to restore it with so much hard work. This might be a museum piece later for younger people to know about old planes!

It’s really great that they are restoring this one, we need to keep as many of the old aeroplanes as we can so that history can be seen in living colour, not in books but in reality. I have seen B24 Liberators and a Lancaster Bomber, a few Spitfires too, but it is always welcomed to restore more of these wonderful and historic aeroplanes. Great posting Bikram 🙂
I have also found your long lost
