The “hot ship” of the family, the KZ VIII was a very advanced aerobatic design when first flown in 1949, and later inspired the design of the Acrostar. It is a popular performer at Stauning, and is being flown here by Povl Toft.

Arguably the most historic of all Danish aeroplanes, the KZ IV helped save the lives of hundreds of prisoners from the German KZ camps. Flown by Jorgen Skov Nielsen, an airline captain with SAS Commuter and a trained aircraft engineer who is technically responsible for the DV aircraft, it is seen near its home at Stauning.

Danes like to claim that Jacob Christian Ellehammer made the first flight in Europe in 1906, although historian Charles Gibbs-Smith’s description of the attempt as a tethered hop-flight is perhaps more accurate. Nonetheless, it was quite an achievement in those years. This replica of Ellehammer’s semi-biplane of 1906 type was donated to the museum. It is taxied, but no-one would know what to do if it actually became airborne!

Designed for artillery observation, the KZ X suffered some accidents when serving with the Danish Army. This is the prototype, the sole surviving example, being flown by Verner Kirkegaard, one of several very experienced private pilots who fly the Collection’s aircraft.
