Hm, interesting, W.Nr 2117? Remains of 5883 was recovered in Norway and that it has been gathered by a collector in UK, who also had aquired a Cockpit section, ex BoB film. When I was in contact with him he said that he had sold it to a collector in Europe. Another person mentioned Austria... So may be it is on the market again.

First I thought that you talked about the "old" civil war He 111 that was reported in FP some time ago and was excited that we may be could get a confirmation on it.

Any photos of it? Does they match with the photo Ive got?

Its "hell" to have to wait until FP reaches the outpost of the civilisation, here in Sweden. :-)
