Talk:Heinkel He 219

message: It appears that a lot of the text has been lifted and simply paraphrased from the Smithsonian site . That page has a copyright notice on it. What is the correct approach? Plagiarism isn't acceptable obviously. The source should at least be referenced. Any ideas?

message: You should be aware that the Smithsonian's UHU, described as having been obtained by the U.S. Operation Lusty at "Grove, South Jutland, Germany" must refer to "Einsatzfliegerhorst Grove, Central Jutland, Denmark (current Karup Air Base)" - this seems to be important to fix since the error apparently has been lifted from the Smithsonian's site.
:The airfield after capture in 1945 was known as 'RAF Grove' and presumably this Uhu was one supplied to Watson by the British, the Luftwaffe commander having surrendered the airfield to Eric "Winkle" Brown who was a test pilot who had just flown over from the RAE, Farnborough.
Wreckage of a HE-219 has just been salvaged off the coast of Denmark. These days it's transported to a museum in Aalborg to be displayed for the audience. News: http://www.nordjyske.dk/artikel/10/2875/28/4128262/4/sj%E6ldent-krigsfly-trukket-op-af-havet The museum: http://www.forsvarsmuseum.dk/
:¡Dios mío! Is there any update on this salvaged He 219? I couldn't access the article but am tremendously interested by this topic and dream of the Uhu. Would very much like to see one in person some day. Please tell us more about the aircraft found off coast of Denmark. Azx2 02:24, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: More info on this bird is here. Seems to have been a Rostock-built He 219 with DB 603E engines but no definite information found to confirm this as an A-7. --Denniss (talk) 03:06, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Photographs of the He 219 are rare, but would it make sense to put the photo of the German He 219 at the top of the article, as it is a German plane? Sure, the British He 219 is a useful photograph, but I think it would be better to put it further down the article, perhaps in the operators section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.246.121.24 (talk) 11:01, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: The photo of the British-captured aircraft was for a while the only picture in the article, hence it was placed in the header.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.172.235 (talk) 19:52, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

message: I don't claim to know, but I do not see how the ventral tray on the He 219 could be "detachable" as it claims at the bottom of the page. The front is stepped where the muzzles are, and the rear blends into the rear ventral fuselage line without any sort of break. The only way the gun tray could be detachable is if there was a second "real" step some distance behind the first, and when the tray was removed it would in essence move the "step" backwards to the new step, which would look even more awkward than the stepped belly does already. The fuselage would have to suddenly get deeper just behind the trailing edge, or something.
Also I quibble with the "significantly more streamlined nacelles" part. I had to look very closely to register how they actually differed from the Ju 88's nacelles and radiators after I read that, and as far as I can tell the main difference is that the leading edges of the annular radiator cowl are subtly more rounded, and the intake area itself is slimmer and more constricted, due to a larger spinner and/or a tighter cowling. It can't be that much tighter however. Strictly honest, I'd say that it ought to be "subtly more streamlined", not "significantly" more.70.16.213.25 (talk) 10:08, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The weapons bay is detachable but the airframe was designed with it in mind so it closely fits into the airframe, ending roughly mid fuselage near the end of the wing. --Denniss (talk) 11:07, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
