Gosshawk Restoration of Focke Wulf Fw 190D-13/R11

[Scott Rose]

First of all, I want to apologize to Christer Engdahl, he supplied these pictures over 4 years ago, the scope of this post (170+ pictures) and my scattered time availability made me push it off for shorter projects. There's additional reasons but no excuses, this is on me. Thank you Christer for supplying these pictures and sorry for the delay.

I believe it's at Paul Allens museum in Seattle. Yellow 10, I saw it there July 2017, too rare to fly. Great place to visit, took many pictures, don't know how to show you. Check out their website.

Thanks to Christer Engdahl and you for the pictures.

One comment that is often repeated in discussions is that the D-13 is "airworthy" and maybe the picture series will reveal some detail. Regarding the Jumo 213, I read that the engine was "gone over" but never saw or read any information that it is actually fight certified-- meaning it was given the full examination, battery of tests and tolerances and fully exercised on a test rig. And surely Vintage V12s would have made a video if they had tested it. So my point is while the aircraft may be described as airworthy, the engine and systems would likely need significant more work to actually fly the aircraft.
