[Slightly OT] Intact 'Flying Pencil' Found

[Nanuk]

Thought I'd post this link as a diversion from the usual amount of rage/love on this board atm.

Will be of particular interest to old warbird lovers and seasoned air show veterans.

Interesting stuff indeed but the image in the article reminds more of a Bf-110 than a Dornier-17.

Could be, but as soon as I took a closer look at the engine-nacelles, it's pretty clear that it IS a Do-17. Plus that the recess in the fuselage looks more like a bomb-bay than a cockpit.

Damn nice find, regardless.

You fellows need to work on your aircraft recognition skills!

It will be an interesting exhibit if they can find the money to raise/preserve and show it.
