Very nice, thank you. I wonder if they can be used...

I must wonder if any of them are salvageable for use in any airworthy projects? Of particular interest are the Jumo 213s, because so many were recovered. There's already one airworthy Fw190D-9 on the way and possibly another so it's wishful thinking that one or more of the 213s could be used in other Dora projects or possibly a Ta152 if anyone ever gets ambitious enough to build one.

The soil appears to be quite dry, enough so that the paint on the cowlings survived very well. The engine accessories are probably beyond use, but the motor alone looks great.
