This Focke Wulf Fw200 "Condor" F8+BR was built in 1940 and had to ditch in 1942 in the Norwegian Trondheimfjord. It was found in 1981 and recovered from a depth of 60m in 1999. Unfortunately, the hull broke shortly after being recovered from the water. Nevertheless, in 2000 at Airbus in Bremen the restoration started with parts from 3 other Fw200 (sn 0002, 00140, 00163). The restoration was completed in 2021 and the Condor was relocated to Berlin-Tempelhof - it is now on display there by the Deutsches Technikmuseum. Of the 275 "Condor" built, this is the only one that "survives", but it mainly consists of replica parts, but some original parts have been preserved on this machine, e.g. the landing gear legs, part of the left wing, the propellers of the engines and the control column at the co-pilot's seat and also the seat.
