Oh wow I'm suitably bloody impressed mate. RESPECT!!!!!!!! I bet that crashed pilot who was taken prisoner by the Russians had a very, very hard life. Mr Pilot sir, can you spell GULAG!!!

Along with a Mitsubishi Zero type propeller spinner! Stellar composition of fotos in this meritorious montage, Bill. The aircraft looks like it's been renovated to perfection.

Wow! What a great find Bill! I can't imagine the work it must have taken to restore it to this condition.

It's amazing the things you can find in Russian marshes! This is an amazing collage! I'm not current on my historical aircraft, but I can appreciate the big-deal-ness of something like this. Truly amazing.

Thanks a lot, Bill. Beautiful collage of a most rare specimen indeed! I checked the history - amazing the Soviet Union let them discover the plane and then remove it! I also saw the photos of the Mk 37 88 gun and the Hetzer (you posted some own photos of that some time ago). From the cockpit photo I assume you weren't able to get closer for a fuller view of the instrument panel. Given the period 1939 - 1941, the designers had enough time to evaluate the Me 109 and come up with an improved plane. I've read that some German pilots preferred the Fw over any other plane - speed, maneuverability, etc... Good job catching the camouflage paint - not much shadow. Keep up the good work! :-)

Beautiful shots, Bill; as a non-airplane buff I am suitably impressed too!

Fabulous collage my friend. Well done

Awesome work! I'd heard about this project. Would love to see it first-hand! By the way, I believe there is video on YouTube of them running up the motor and doing some taxi tests. Sorry... don't have the actual links...
