Wargaming Releases New Documentary Video For The Dornier 17

Wargaming has announced the release of a new mini-video documentary that gives more insight into the story behind the Dornier which was also referred to as the German Dornier Do17 bomber. The video goes into great detail about how the Dornier was discovered and raised out of the waters three miles off the coast of England. Read on.


From the Press Release
Wargaming is pleased to release the video story behind Dornier, the only known German Dornier Do17 bomber to be discovered and raised from the waters of the Goodwin Sands, three miles off the coast of England, in June 2013.


Beginning October 16th, the general public will be able to experience a new dynamic exhibition at its Cosford site, which will explore the background of the legendary aircraft and its recovery. The creation of the ‘Wargaming.net Interpretation Zone’ has been funded by Wargaming, an award winning global game publisher and developer.

The grant of £75,000 has allowed the Museum to work with redLoop: the Middlesex University Design and Innovation Centre, to develop new approaches to the display and interpretation of the Dornier as it is conserved. A number of interventions will tell the story of the Dornier, its recovery and conservation—in both the Museum's physical and digital spaces.

At both sites, the public will also be able to see an augmented reality Dornier flying above the Museum, showing the aircraft as it would have been seen in 1940. Visitors will be able to view this through their smartphones via a newly developed app. Additionally exhibits at both sites will display multimedia content—from the footage of the Dornier in action in 1940, to a film of the recovery operation and the chance to witness the Dornier in action in the upcoming Wargaming release—World of Warplanes flight combat action MMO.

The Museum has also tied in with organizations across the globe, including the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, The Air Force Museum of New Zealand Museum plus the Pima Air & Space Museum/Arizona Aerospace Foundation to celebrate the launch of the exhibition. Visitors to those Museums will also be able to see the augmented reality Dorniers through their smartphones, hovering in situ.

The exhibition will allow the Museum to develop new education offers focusing on the STEM subjects, as well as creating a space, where community groups and adult education partners can take part in the Dornier experience.

A new dedicated website will also be launched, which will house the story of the Dornier and its recovery and conservation. The website will showcase the social history behind the Dornier, the forensic science behind its discovery and recovery, archive footage from the Museum as well as user generated content. The website will progress with the Dornier project and function as an innovative hyper textual documentary for the project.
