Is there a place for aviation archeology on this forum????&#

Hi all

The topic about what aircraft we would like to recover got me thinking. Most of the thread concerns substantial wrecks being hopefully worthy of restoration, and almost nothing about recovering wrecks from the ground.

What is the general idea of this forum, is it
just talking, and looking for substantial wrecks and encouraging each other to have them recovered, or is it about warbirds in general including aviation archeology?
Because that is what we're doing mostly in Holland. Looking for substantial wrecks is also what we are very interested in (in fact I have this dream to recover a complete aircraft someday and the chance to do so is getting closer and closer) but over here we mostly encounter the remains of these great aircraft which have hit mother earth at high speed, instead of gently ditching on a calm smooth watery surface, just waiting to be lifted.

Is there an interest on this board about complete aircraft in 10.000 pieces, or should I just continue about underwaterwrecks etc.?

Just curious as ever

Cees
