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 :wink:

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.
