I'm going to be reposting the various Do-24 versions in use, after revising their propellers and SFC.

The Dutch Do-24K, fitted with the Jumo 208 engines and a strengthened airframe to allow for long range operations.

These are two of the photos I shot in Friedrichshafen late in summer 2007.... Hope you like them despite their size.





Btw, that building on pic two behind the Do24 is the hangar for the Zeppelin NT.

Here's another revision to the Do-24s, since Kaiser Kirk's eagle eye spotted an error in the fuselage fullness. The effect has been to lower the aircraft's top speed, and in some cases to increase the aircraft weight to compensate for additional fuselage weight.
