About 10 years ago, I was doing some consulting work on an Airbus programme at Bremen. My colleagues told me that there was a group of elderly folk restoring 'a Focke Wulf' in one of the workshops past which we used to walk on the way from our offices to the laboratory.

I assumed they meant an Fw190 or possibly an Fw 189, but they assured me that it was, in fact, an Fw200 Condor.

Peering through the windows of the workshop didn't give many clues, but there was quite a lot of green metal worked into various shapes, so it was clear that whatever was being restored wasn't just a fable.
