Survivor and Reproductions
Only one original A1 Natter survives and is stored in the Paul E. Garber Preservation, Restoration and Storage Facility in Suitland, Maryland, USA. The evidence supports the proposition that this machine was captured at St. Leonhard in the Pitztal, Austria in May 1945 by US troops. It is in a poor state of repair and is no longer accessible to the general public. The Natter displayed at the Deutsches Museum is said to have been reconstructed partly from sub-assemblies that survived the end of the war. This machine is of the experimental type as launched from the steel tower and is painted to look like M17. There are several static reproductions of Natters around the world, for example at the "Planes of Fame", Chino, California and "Fantasy of Flight", Polk City, Florida, USA.

Famous quotes containing the word survivor:
“You’re looking, sir, at a very dull survivor of a very gaudy life. Crippled, paralyzed in both legs. Very little I can eat, and my sleep is so near waking that it’s hardly worth the name. I seem to exist largely on heat, like a newborn spider.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
