Re: SURVIVING V1 FLYING BOMBS
Hi Trevor,
Someone mentioned my website www.preservedaxisaircraft.com as a source of information on preserved V-1s. I hope it is usefull for you. Also, do check out the relics section, the section for not complete aircraft/objects. Some months ago I had the opportunity to see and take photos of remains of some 4 V-1's that landed in Sweden during the war - from Pennemünde. They haven't been listed anywhere before - as well as no photos published. In the engine section you will also find photos of a preserved engine. If you can add or correct any information please let me know! Best wishes /Mike www.axisaircraft.com

Re: SURVIVING V1 FLYING BOMBS
IIRC there was a section devoted to preserved V-1s in Dieter Holsken's "V-Missiles of the Third Reich" published some years ago by Monogram.

Surprised you are the first to mention this excellent book published by Monogram. To be honest I had thought about posting something about this title, but simply forgot. V-Missiles of the Third Reich, The V-1 and V-2 Dieter Hölsken Monogram Aviation,1994 0-914144-42-1 Hard Cover, 352p Beautiful book, both in terms of text and publishing. It covers V-1 and 2 survivors dedicating some 5 or so pages to the subject, showing photographs of some 15 (including a Reichenberg!) surviving examples in various museums (or is it musea?) scattered around the globe. If you manage to find a copy, don't think just buy.

Re: SURVIVING V1 FLYING BOMBS
Its a great book. The Reichenberg is at the Lashenden Air Warfare Museum at Headcorn Kent England at which I am a Trustee. It is due to to undergo full restoration within the next 12 months at a cost of approx 30,000 euros (donations welcome) to bring it up to full display condition.
