Регистрационный номер: VP501 The massive Blohm und Voss Bv 222 Wiking six-engined flying boat was originally designed for a proposed Deutsche Lufthansa trans-Atlantic service. This example is the Bv222C 0-12, the fourth pre-production example of the diesel-engined variant. Captured in Norway, it was flown to the UK and, serialled VP501, was test-flown for evaluation at Calshot by 201 Squadron. It is seen in the throes of engine maintenance, the port outer and starboard central Junkers Jumo 207C 12-cylinder diesels having been removed. The unusual "split” retractable stabilising floats are clearly shown.
