Belgian Storch gets its wings

摘要

The Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History in Brussels has fitted the wings to Fieseler Fi-156C-3 Storch 5503. As reported in the May 2013 issue of FlyPast, this 1941-built example is unusual in that it still has its original, German-built wings. It served in Russia during its service with Luftwaffe liajson unit 2.(H)/ Aufklarungsgruppe 12. Volunteers have refurbished the wings with the assistance of Belgian organisation Poncelet, and the slats, flaps and ailerons will be fitted in the near future.
