Combat Warplanes / Re: Technikmuseum Speyer

My guess would be that it is the front part of a Dornier 24 (there was no info marker), what is missing is the upper wing with the three propellers but the bow would certainly indicate that it is a waterplane and it would explain the strange short vestigal wings.

Edit:
Ok i found it. Its the wreck of a Do 24 that was recovered from the Müritzsee thats halfway between Berlin and Rostock (type Mueritzsee in google maps then you should find it). In Autumn 1944 the three machines that were stationed there were attacked by american fighters. Two did explode directly and the third one was sunk to the lake. Thats the one we have here.

This Draken was used in Austrian Service. On one of the photos you can see the word "Gefahr" = "danger" written on the air intake.

Nice idea with the new design. I must agree for the language. Most German people can understand at least english, except maybe some people of the older generation 60+ If i ever write something i can make it dual english/German should not be a problem.
How many spanish visitor you have? that would make maybe more sense to translate it. Some script to watermark photos would be a nice addition so we could publish more of our own collection not only in the forum.
