Photo Comment

This aircraft has been reconstructed, using some parts from a crashed Luftwaffe Condor bomber, coded F8+BR, which ditched in a fjord near Trondheim on 22 February 1942. The wreckage was brought to the surface in May 1999 but was so corroded that it largely disintegrated when lifted from the water. Nonetheless it provided much information that could then be used to reverse-engineer a Condor, a type for which technical drawings were no longer available. The wreck of a second Condor, F8+AK (Werknr. 0140) was the source of the port wing and several smaller parts for the project.
