The work completed so far was amazing considering the location. One can only hope that it will be possible to resume the restoration at Lufthansa Technik where full technical resources are available.
I was fortunate enough to have worked on the Lufthansa L-1649A in New York when they were new and also on Trans Atlantica Argentina's ex-TWA aircraft. They were superb machines and the most beautiful piston airliners in flight with their long wing. The revised higher-pressure hydraulic systems were quite unique in their dual configuration. The new type of fittings that replaced the AC and AN types on previous models on the lines proved not to be leak-proof as was promised in our training school.
I mentioned in another thread the original hollow aluminum prop blades that were quickly replaced by solid aluminum ones after some splitting at the leading edge.
Moving them about by towing and by taxiing was a bit interesting as that wing really stuck out there. Unfortunately they were far too late and the DC-7C had taken the market.
