Summary

[edit]
Description

c/n 16336 Built June 1945 The Ki-100 was a radial engine development of the Ki-61 Hein. The type first flew in February 1945 and only 396 had been built when the war ended. This is the only surviving example. It was one of 24 found at Tan Son Nhut Airfield in what was then French Indo-China. It was briefly made airworthy, but soon suffered a wheels-up landing after which it did not fly again. It was shipped to the UK during 1946 and was then stored at various locations for the Air Historical Branch, making occasional static appearances. In 1985 she moved to RAF St Athan and was returned to ground running condition, but the collection was dissolved in 1989 and the Ki100 joined the Cosford Aerospace Museum. In 2003 it underwent further restoration before going on display in the ‘Milestones of Flight’ Hall at Hendon. She remained there until 2011 when she came back to Cosford and is currently on display in the ‘War in the Air’ hangar. RAF Museum, Cosford, Shropshire, UK.
