Blohm & Voss BV 138

[JScones]

Just wondering whether anyone has tackled this beast... http://home.swipnet.se/our_stuff/Planes/BV138.htm

Awesome flying boat which focussed on recon and surveillance.

Bump !

This plane has to be done !

Great pictures, by the way. :hmm:

IIRC, there where plans to use this plane for u-boat re-fueling.

Other way around

The aircraft could be refuelled from uboats

Most if not all Bv 138s were equipped with catapult points for operation from seaplane tenders and about 20 Bv 138C-1s were equipped with a modified fuel filter to remove possible pollutants when refueling from u-boats.

Of course if you have these it would be nice to have a seaplane tender too

Luftwaffe seaplane tenders
Not kreigsmarine

U-boats carried AVGAS???


No, I knew the BV-138 had diesel engines.









I did TOO!

Would have been surprised if you didnt

Late last year, Denis469 mentioned that the Bv 138 was being worked on.

Haven't seen anything about it since

Do you have any further news for us Denis??.

Denis; Thank you for replying so quickly....even though the news was not good!

I was also very sorry to read ( if the translation program was correct ) that your Russian forum has lost its ' home ' with Avia Forums.

Have you had any success in finding a new site yet?

Cheers

First - news from me about BV-138 is't bad. May be VAA can do unit in USSR submarine mod, may be simple work unit. All may be....
Second - russian forum would be restart during 1-2 week in old adress. I wait it.

[Cheapskate]

Ah! thanks for the better news on both subjects

Hope VAA will be able to produce a Bv138.....will go very nicely with the Do 24T which you gave us last year

I love the Dornier Do.24 too. Great plane.

Goes without saying that it has been added to my personal GWX installation (and scripted in its Aussie role of transport).

I write with VAA and, apparntly, BV-138MS would be.
