On the whole, very well Matt,
If you can find the "Phoenix Foundation" website, and can ignore all their "PR spin trying to blag money by showing pictures of aircraft, that have nothing to do with us"
then you'll see pictures of aircraft recovered from Bogs in Karelia. Also I posted, a long time ago, a Russian website, showing stuff being pulled out of bogs.
Now the downside. If you want to recover something from that region, and can find someone, who isn't greedy, stupid, or linked to the Chechen Mafia, then go ahead. However, the local authorities, have woken up to their historical heritage being had away, especially Ukraine, and there are now fines, or even imprisonment, for unauthorised removal of "Tractor Parts" :0)
Anyway, good luck .....
