One of the nicest looking aircraft. Pity she ended up as a military aircraft, instead of a civilian airliner. We might still have some around today, like the Ju 52's still flying. Love the footage though. Nice shots of the undercarriage retracting, and the interror. I wonder if that wasn't a RAF Coastal Command aircraft? Possibly (from the blurry outline) a Bristol Beaufort?

We finally have a Fw 200 around again! One was salvaged from Norway in the early 2000s and restored in northern Germany into a 'civilian' version. Most parts had to be reproduced because the original disintegrated during salvage while metres of the ground, wings broke off, the fuselage apart, initially it was doubted if a restoration was still possible at all, but they made it in the end, she still has a few original parts (which still have remaining camouflage and Balkenkreuze) while the rest is blank aluminium. She will not fly, but due to the very complete restauration she is in an excellent state, I believe she is now placed at the old Tempelhof airport in Berlin, there are many vids on KZread of her.

Far more likely to have been the Bay of Biscay than the English Channel, especially given the Fw-200's vulnerability to fighters and the operating area of Kg-40 after June 1940. The sailing vessel seen was probably a Spanish or Portuguese neutral.

The Condor did not make a great transition from a civilian design to military use like the He 111. It became overloaded to the point where fuselages were buckling

Brown lied about flying the Me163 under power. Since he did that, his other claims must be held in suspicion unless independently verified.

"Кондор" - опасный самолёт. Опасный, прежде всего, для собственных экипажей. Если самолёт получал повреждения, то шансы на выживание у экипажа были маленькие. Очень много FW-200, из за огня противника, или просто разваливались в воздухе, или разбивались вдребезги при вынужденной посадке, хороня под обломками экипаж.

Any German aircraft flying alone over the English Channel in 1941 was going to have a very short and bad day, especially such a vulnerable aircraft as the FW200, this is far more likely to be over the W Approaches given that an allied convoy is filmed. I speculate that this is a montage of clips taken from a KG40 patrol during which they spotted a neutral sailing vessel over the Biscay and further out a convoy in the W Approaches and an aircraft of RAF Coastal Command, possibly a HP Hampden.

They were rarely deployed over the channel. They mostly flew far out over the Atlantic where fighters couldn't reach them. Unless they had the misfortune to encounter a fighter like a Martlet or Seafire either from a carrier or as a rocket launched one-off fighter from an escort ship.
