Some time ago, and after I finally lost my patience with the Russian end of the warbird recovery market, on a hunch, I got in touch with the Finnish Forestry commission.
They put me through to the office in Rovaniemi , which is very very north. Ended up speaking to the daughter, of the local forestry guy, who was translating what he was saying.

To cut a long story short, yes, there were still aircraft wrecks in the forests, including JU-52's and "Fighters". As for condition, I can't say, all that came across was "wrecked". But, if I was to go looking in Finland, I'd base my search between Rovaniemi and Nautsi.......
