The V1 or Fieseler Fi 103/Flakzielgerat 76 (FZG-76) is not the best place to take a break I agree ! These guys appear though to be bomb disposal personnel who are probably dismantling it, and if you notice although the 1000kg explosive charge is still in place, the firing pistol assembly which is housed in the nose cone has been completely removed renedering this DOODLEBUG harmless. Interesting to note, one of the 2 compressed air bottles (which supplied power for the servos and gyros) laying next to the fuselage.
huh i wouldnt sit on that thing he didnt explode… but who knows what can happen
