this version of P-47 with an inverted CHRYSLER HEMI is pretty sweet also...

Those don't look like Messerschmidts, they look like Buchons. They were built in Spain under license but used Merlin engines instead. Buchons were used in the movie 'The Battle Of Britain' to simulate BF-109Es, these could be the same ones. The Daimler-Benz engines in real Messerschmidts were inverted.

Also, the German jet isn't a Horten 229 as those were twin engined. The picture shows the Horten XVIII intercontinental bomber proposal. None were built.

As I was posting them I thought it didnt look right, but had them labeled as I had them posted, Thanks the windscreen is a dead give away.

Correct the Horten 229 was only a prototype

Those aircraft are the Battle of Briton aircraft.

There has to be more to this story than removing this aircraft? I say the Dutch are reclaiming more land from the sea and this particular AC in the area and needs to be moved

That was a war grave and shouldn't have been touched.
