Dornier Do-27 A1, The Real Deal


Recommended Posts

These films are in German, but still worth watching if you like this type of thing

Here's another Do-27 being used in a documentary called "Serengeti darf nicht sterben" (The Serengeti shall not die)

Made in about 1958. It was written and directed by Bernhard Grzimek, and filmed by his son "Michael"

I should also add that the young man in these videos Michael Grzimek died on-location during the filming of the documentary when the Do-27 "D-ENTE" collided with a vulture and he lost control of it.

This is 1 of 9 some nice aerial footage showing them crossing the Alps and traveling down to the Serengeti

This is part 4 of 9, obviously the capturing of the poachers has be staged for the documentary, but there is still some nice low level flying to see

The cool part is at 4:12 in, when he pulls the arrow out of his plane :o
