Thank You mates. You know if I could chose what to fly in, I would chose this pretty baby. Open cockpit, that is flying!

Nice photos 

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
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)

And more:

I have on hold one profile of Nieuport XI/XVI and detail showed here are very important 

[Letipapa]

I am so glad hearing that,
Here some more details (on the second pfhoto, I erased strings that airplain is hanged by, so it is more clear to see machine gun).

And some more (last one is made from first two ones)

Not from museum but from archive

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
