Lufthansa purchased some 1649's and what has been done to bring one back to life. High quality video, in German, but it is easy enough to get the drift of what is being done. Incredible what has to be done. Enjoy

Thanks for that video. Very interesting indeed.

That was a very fascinating look into the rebuilding process. My goodness though, it might have been quicker to simply manufacture the entire airframe from scratch...

Since this is still a WIP obviously, I wonder when their target date is for completion.
