Dansk Flymuseum

Last time out, I decided I was fed up lugging around a DSLR and heavy lenses. My 'small' camera, a Panasonic, was always disappointing, so I decided to compromise a bit and buy one of these -Attachment 89442

I am still experimenting, but it is a joy to use and has a 'proper' viewfinder, so you don't have to wander about with your arms in the air !

Here are some preliminary shots taken in the marvellous museum at Stauning, on the west coast of Jutland. The tidiest aircraft museum I have ever visited, and full of rarities...

This is the replica of the Ellehammer, the aircraft that made the first powered flight in Europe, according to the Danes, beating Santos-Dumont by a month.



The B & S monoplane from 1911


What the Danes call the Hawker Dankok


A replica of the home-grown KZ I


The KZ II, in coupe form


KZ II trainer


KZ VII


A nice KZ III ambulance


The lovely KZ IV


No apologies for another pic of one of my favourites !


KZ VIII, built for an air circus


A rather smart KZ X


More later.....

More goodies.....


The curious HT-1


The equally curious Transavia Airtruk - I was very surprised to find how small this aircraft actually is - it always looks enormous in photos..


The Hummel Bird, powered by a Moto Guzzi bike engine - this one isn't in the catalogue. Walter ???


A rather splendid C47, beautifully turned out.



A nice F86D


Quite difficult to ID the Draken from this angle..


Another gem - the PBY 'with knobs on' !


Nice to see one with the blisters intact.

Great photos Mike, and an interesting museum. They have a complete set of SAI KZ aircraft according to their website, and some of those they even fly!

You certainly have some one of a kind aircraft in there. I didn't recognize 90% of them.

That is a nice camera. Even if it is a "cough, gag" Canon.

Splendid!
