According to Wargaming, the RAF Museum will permanently display the Dornier 17 fighter plane in its own exhibition space following its full restoration by 2015. The exhibit currently features several pieces from the plane currently, and it will be shipped from its workshop in Cosford, UK to its place among the Wargaming.net Interpretation Zone in the Museum of London.

To celebrate the opening of the Wargaming.net Interpretation Zone on February 28, 2014 Wargaming and the RAF Museum launched a mobile application, Apparition, using augmented reality to view a virtual version of the aircraft flying over the museum. Users were encouraged to submit photos of the hundreds of virtual Do17’s placed in various locations around the world, and the top 15 photos from Australia, UK, Ukraine, Philippines, Mexico and the USA were chosen to be on display at the exhibit.
“Offering people around the world to participate in each step of the Dornier Do17 renovation process has been a truly gratifying experience,” said Tracy Spaight, Special Projects Director at Wargaming. “As a company heavily invested in the preservation of military history, we feel it’s important to show our gratitude and appreciation towards these unique relics.”
