   This A-4/V-2 replica was built in England for the BBC docudrama "Space Race," which aired in 2005. After filming was finished in Romania, the replica remained there. Originally painted in ragged camouflage, it was painted black and white during filming for later scenes. For the next decade the whereabouts of this replica remained unclear. During that time it seems the rocket deteriorated considerably. In 2020 the rocket was recovered and restored for display at Romanian National Air Museum in Bucharest.

   "Space Race," a BBC docudrama series between September/October 2005, chronicling the major events and characters in the American/Soviet space race. It focuses on Sergei Korolev, the Soviets' chief rocket designer, and Wernher von Braun, his American counterpart.
