: Hi All,
:
: Some time ago I spoke to a friend of mine who has a lot of
: contacts in Europe regarding warbird parts etc. Apparentl
: y he was told by a friend of his that the Russians have a
: large collection of Luftwaffe aircraft somewhere on a secr
: et airfield. The person he heard this from (I know, but th
: is person is quite knowlegdable on the subject) and was ac
: tually there on personal invitation of Ivan Kozhedub some
: years ago, (the famous Russian ace).
:
: It seemed that he was shown into a hangar and couldn't bel
: ieve his eyes when he saw a unique collection of all sorts
: of bombers, fighters etc as once used by the Luftwaffe an
: d probably captured by the Russians.
:
: Has anyone on this board heard stories similar to this one
: or knows more about this. I don't think it's a rumour but
: more a very well kept secret.

A friend of a friend said he was shown a colour photo of a group of German aircraft in a hangar somewhere in the Urals .. he said he could see at least 6 109s and a He 219 !!
So it is posible ...and I sure as hell hope so... but as always we need to eyeball the evidence ;-0
Ran that story by my Russian contact and he thinks it unlikely .. but didn't discount it totally.
