Tony, Polish recoveries

Posted by Cees Broere on Tue Oct 08, 2002 07:12:16 AM

Last sunday I met a Mr Jerzy Janczukowics who claims to be a representative of the group that recovered the wreck of the Messerschmitt Bf-109G from a Polish lake and which is now under restoration.

Reason for his visit was that he was interested in our investigation of the 300 sqn Polish Lancaster and he wanted to dive on the wreck. That wasn't possible but I spent some time with him and he claimed that his group has recovered about 10 aircraft wrecks from Polish lakes, including the already mentioned Messerschmitt and a B-17 of which I have seen photo's showing large wingsections. They aim to set up a museum where these wrecks should be displayed.

Tony, do you have any information about these recoveries?

Cheers

Cees
