A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

This is rather interesting

Not really intact though (much of it stolen in the past few years), but nevertheless it remains the only specimen in the world.

The DO17, whilst being more or less obselete before 1939, was successfully used as a testbed for a number of advanced designs, including ramjets.
