Title: Gotha Logo on propeller
Post by: zavod44 on November 21, 2019, 12:57:20 PM

Does anyone have a good high res photo of that Gotha logo?  You know the one in that museum?  There used to be decent pics on the web but they are now blurry with all the photobucket issues.  Does anyone have a pic of that?  I'm trying to get a look at that original Gotha logo.

I have so many photos in my Photobucket album it will take ages to move them across to Smugmug. Here is the Gotha prop decal

Schloss Friedenstein is the castle pictured on the Gotha propeller decal. It was built in the mid-17th century by Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Gotha at Gotha, Thuringia
