He111 tail fin: displayed at IWM Duxford
Article about: This one was recovered in Norway back in the 1970's. I love this exhibit and always make a point of looking at it everytime I visit the museum. It is such a striking item. Cheers, Ade.

what a waste!
Norway has a number of very-well preserved allied and axis aircraft wrecks. I remember seeing a picture of a Fiat - (early world war 2 french light tank) sitting on the side of the road.
not sure when or where the picture was taken through...

Have you been tempted to run your metal detector over the sites?!

My Sqn still has a lot of artifacts in the T bar and a little room especialy for memrobilia. When I was on XXV Sqn they had props and skins from a number of A/C shot down by the air crew. I'll see if I can get in for some photo's.

Just read this thread about the scrapped aircraft - the AWM are guilty of something similar I believe, they acquired an intact/airworthy Betty Bomber from PNG straight after the war that apparently was the last aircraft to bomb Australia. They ran out of room for storage so they scrapped it ( in the 60's or 70's ?)Funny how even museum folk can commit such atrocities!
