German wreckage in Bucharest

Posted by MIkael Olrog on Fri Dec 06, 2002 12:15:43 PM

I got this answer from D?nes Ben?rd about the wreckage in Bucharest:

The mentioned Bf 109G wing belonged to a Luftwaffe machine and was retrieved from the Black Sea. The rest of the wreck fell back into the water and was left there (apparently, there was not much interest in rescuing and preserving it).

The engine and cannon to be found at M.Av. belonged to a Fw 190 and were found burried in ground in Iasi (Yassy) area. They have been dig out when building a canal.

All these relics are in poor shape. I had the chance to closely examine them when in Bucharest last Summer.
