You beat me to it. A Ju-290 it is indeed.

There is a certain resemblance between the bald guy with the funny gear and the Ju 290... :D

We just went through this with the same photo a couple weeks ago... 8) Don't let it discourage you from posting more, Jack! Always love your pics!

One captured Ju-290 was flown back to the States post-war, carrying the nickname "Alles Kaputt." Unfortunately it was later scrapped. Junkers also concocted an enlarged six-engine version, called the Ju-390!

I realize I'm rather slow, but I just now noticed that guy laying on top of the big airplane, in the first picture.

I'd missed him too!

These kind of shots do seem like warbirders' playgrounds until you realise how many of the 'abandoned' aircraft were actually (or could be) booby trapped.

A timely reminder here with Private Snafu. Got to be one of the best set-ups in cartoonland:

To paraphrase Oddball in Kelly's Heroes: "I'm just eating cheese, drinking wine, catching some rays...y'know?"
