I made another clip out of some of the footage I have offline. Here's one that was an "end-of-the-war" airshow held by Allies to show off captured German aircraft (also see what else you can spot in the background).

Thanks for sharing this film! I've not seen this one before. Can anyone tell me what the last aircraft type in the film is? The one with the nose art?

thatīs an Focker Wulf 200 Condor modified for carring the Fritz-X and HS 293 radio-controlled air-to-surface missiles

I saw that one in a book. It is a Ju 290 A-8 recon bomber.

oops .. your right .. nose part of the plan looks very similar to an FW 200 Condor

i always thought, that the FW Condor was the only 4 engine bomber that were build in germany during world war two :)
