Stuka update
Back in 2019 I saw this Ju87 Stuka part way through a restoration to flight. Surviving Stukas are a rare breed and none have flown for decades so the sight of this project was quite exciting. Unfortunately, Paul Allen, the owner of the Flying Heritage Collection whose aircraft it is, died not so long after I saw it and work has subsequently stalled. However, my mate Gaz has drawn my attention to the fact that the aircraft has now been moved to a facility in Arkansas where work will continue on the restoration to flight which will include its original engine. Anyway, here are some pictures from when I saw it 6 years ago and not much has changed since then.
