    When I was a kid in the sixties my Dad was in the military and we were stationed in Europe for a couple of years. A good friend of ours was a German Officer who flew a Fw190 during the war. One day my brother and I were dog-fighting with our model planes. When he saw us he walk up saying "no,no,no" and proceeded for the next 30 minutes to instruct us in the proper way to shoot down another aircraft. I wish he could have seen this restoration flying.

      Haha what a fantastic story. I wish id had similar experience but i used to get hourly talks from our neighbour who we called 'boring' Ken. He worked for the gas company and would go on for hours about his job , i used to make a quick exit when he came over because he was the most boring man alive.

    When the FW 190 first made it's appearance a new poster was produced by the British War Ministry. It featured an FW 190 with the caption, " Who's afraid of the big bad Wulf ? " At one Bomber Command station, a wag added " Sign here " on the poster. The whole bomber squadron signed it. 'Nuff said. Flugwerk did an amazing job on this build !

      If that old story is true it was the USAAF as I heard ,the poster was from Boeing or Consolidated .
      RAF makes no sense as they flew by night and would not have met the 190.
      The Americans did come up against the FW during their daylight raids and had every reason to be afraid of it.

    • @InVacuo

      Well mostly, the engine is actually a Soviet Shvetzov ASh-82 used in various VVS aircraft, not the original BMW 801. So troops would certainly have heard this on the ground but rather when an La-5 or something buzzed over. :)
      To be fair it probably doesn't sound too dissimilar to an original FW-190 and it is a great sound. :)

      @@MrRugbylane I think that it is because of armoring. The plane was also designed for ground attack (a fighter-bomber). Wing loading is much higher on the Fw than on the spitfire, so it was less maneuverable. The Angle of attack (basically how much you can deviate your nose from your flight path) was much higher on the Spitfire. However the Fw was very fast in a dive, hence the boom and zoom tactics of the Luftwaffe, if caught in a turn fight with a spitfire, the plane would loose. It is interesting the design choices, that went into each plane. British seemed to make their own version of a fighter bomber with the Tempest, which also is a pretty cool plane.

    Similar story, as a kid I was running around in the garden with a model Hurricane in my hand. My ‘scary neighbour’ (his face was covered in skin grafts) shouted over the fence “that’s a Mk2B - I flew them in Africa!” I then proceeded to interrogate the poor man about his entire ww2 experiences

    I am so stupid, I was looking at the title, "oooh a FW 190 D, that,s exciting, you don't see them at all", .....the plane rolls out ......."oh, it doesn't look like a D, or is that nose paint throwing me off, it looks more like an A ..........and it says its a D-FWAA? What the hell is a D-FWAA?"..........Yes, I am that stupid. Great Vid, and great work Warbirds.

    Flown here by Klaus Plasa, who is the German equivalent of our Steve Hinton. Would love to see a balls-out dogfight between those fabulous WW2 warbird pilots. Hinton is fond of the F4U Corsair, which is as fast as the P-51. Plasa has done some darn good flying in the BF109G, so might choose that.

      The swastika is illegal in Germany and has been for decades. The exception is for approved displays or educational purposes. Obviously this plane didn't qualify for an exemption (or perhaps the owners simply didn't want a full swastika).

    One of the things that made WWii such an amazing topic of study was the cutting edge ahead of it's time technology were the incredible flying machines flown by both the Germans and Allies. Each side competing for that little edge to gain advantage and then the Germans finally introduced the ME-262 right near the end of the war. Incredible to see them all here on display and still flying still amazes when you think this was 80 + years ago when these planes were put into battle over the skies in Europe.
