Nice photos  :-ok

As far as i know there is no airplane museum at the Franfurt airport, only a Bf108 Taifun. But there is a project to start an Euler Museum near Frankfurt:

Looks very promising they have Technical University of Darmstadt and Frankfurt airport and some technical guys from Lufthansa as sponsors.

Thank You for information and interesting site Kilian. :-OK :-wave
It will be nice museum when they build it. Of course now I know that also there are some old airplanes on Frankfurt airport too. ;)

And now some experiments with background of following photo (this diagonal construction of museum glass wall is confusing when airplane's struts and cables are in question, so I erased them and get pure white and also black background. Anyway all variants are shown so You chose).
Also I enlarged some small details -it was not possible to come closer, and zoom made nor sharp result (I need stand, and of course, much better camera)

Bonjour a tous

I dont know the story of this "Bébé",may be a replica ?

All I Know is that  the badge you see on the fuselage is the one of squadron N 12  ,a cut white / blue clear pennant overloaded with the figure 12 in 1916.
Colours are those of the Virgo and were proposed by Madam de Bernis, pious wife of the major*of the squadron and "godmother" of the escadrille
I dont know why these colours had be retained for the  N11 exposed in this museum ?
The escadrille 12 was  very well kown (50 victories confirmed)

Cordialement
Bruno
