September, 19 we followed the kind invitation of Peter Junior, owner of the Flugausstellung Hermeskeil.
This museum is one of the biggest privat aircraft collections and is host to Bronco 99+16.
Peter kindly offered us to copy all the necessary decales for the repaint from his aircraft.

Exactly 7 years after our first Bronco had arrived in the UK, newly restored 99+32 made her fist public outing at the
Royal Navy Historic Flight Charity Flying Day at Yeovilton, on September 13, 2008. We also got the opportunity for
a great air to air photografic sorty with Richard Paver. Below are some of his perfect shots. More had been published
in an "Aeroplane Mothly" article in the December 2008 issue.
Pictures with great thanks to Richard Paver

Even if we get step by step closer to completition, we are in need for help of everyone connected to the OV10B.
If you have spareparts, documentation or worked on these OV10B aircrafts, we are very interested to get in contact
with you.Currently of most interest is the winch documentation, another ejection seat or information about the Jetpod.
But all other information is of interest too!
Please get in contact with us!!!
