I agree great looking paintwork, but the last time I heard "bonza" being spoken by an Australian was in a Smiley film from the 1950's

Jawohl. I hate to correct you, but the 97.5% of me that is of German ancestry made me do it.
Beautiful machine.

The plane is flown by Flug-Werk test pilot Klaus Plasa for the first time on February 19. out of the airport Manching near Ingolstadt, Germany.
A colour profile of the original aircraft flown by Nowotny is available here:

It's not 'PC' - it is the law.
No flying aircraft registered in Germany can carry the insignia of the Nazi Party. Hardly an unreasonable restriction. It's not a national but a banned political party insignia.
(Museum and historic aircraft that are static can carry it, some don't, however.)
I'd like to see a Flug Werke machine fly. It would be interesting even to my tone-deaf ear to know how much like the real thing they do (or don't) sound.
