Some more pics from last weekend. The LVG is still undergoing test flights and the observers seat has been temporarily removed, and replaced by weights on the floor. An altimeter has been fitted between the centre section struts, on springs, just like the common practice back in 1918.











Here is a photo of an original first aid pack from the TVAL site:

Fantastic photos once more Jamo.  Now WNW needs to re-release the LVG.

Wow even more pics, Thanks again ! ( I was in Paris in 2011 and visited M.F. they were just starting on the LvG  and just testing the landing gear on the He 162 so great to see your LvG pics !)

Fantastic photos. One of my favourite aircraft since I was a lad, visiting the Shuttleworth Collection every month with my parents. Thanks for sharing.
Regards, Ken

Yesterday at the TVAL Open Day the good chaps at TVAL took one side of the engine covers off the LVG for some detail photos. Here are some of the better ones

Wonderful Jamo, thanks so much for sharing these as with the original effort. Now, if I could just locate the model I missed before it went sold out for less then a mortgage on a tropical island and mansion life would be fairly complete!! ::)
Cheers,
