It's nice that the aircraft wreck is not rebuild into a new looking plane. It remains all original this way, no added stuff and parts. Traces of original paint and markings are very beautiful. In the museum they can anyhow add a model beside it with images and blue prints to show the flying condition of such an item.
Obviously it was an controlled emergency watering or simply forgotten on the frozen lake during the thawing period in spring/early summer, because of the few damage.
Nice video, thanks. It still looks fearsome after all those years at the bottom of the sea. I'd imagine the sight of one of these birds in the rear-view mirror was every Allied pilot's worst nightmare! Any details of the action in which it was lost (place, date, time etc) and who got the kill?
Fw-190 A-2 Werk No. 0125425 that last flew with IV./JG 5. It made an emergency water landing on December 15, 1943 with engine problems and the pilot was rescued by local fishermen.
@UVService Did he make it out of the plane ok? Or did he end up getting leeched by the animals of the sea? I only ask because it'd be interesting to know his story. I read where this Vietnamese refugee was living in Guam after our occupation of Vietnam. He found an A6M(Don't know variant number) Zero with a dead body inside of it in the Jungle nearby where he was staying. Said it was the most horrific sight he'd ever seen. No skin, eyeballs, nothing. Just bones and debris. Saddening.
@jmb765 What would be expected of remains found inside an aircraft lost in the mid 1940's? A plump juicy body? Gimme a break. That would be horrific. Not scattered bones. But still sad.
Not to be too grisly, but there have been several remains recovered from crash sites in boggy areas which are virtually intact after 50 years. The low-oxygen and other unique chemistry preserved the remains remarkably well. In the documented instances, the pilots were given honorable military funerals.
@Ahnenerbe1928 Unbelievably the pilot survived this terrible ordeal trapped in an air pocket he managed to survive by catching passing fish and eating them raw, his fur lined flying jacket keeping him warm at night.
After the plane was brought to the surface he popped up from the cockpit and went home.
@m886amb Not really very lucky at all, he was apparently run over by a car , only one block from his house, the car didn't kill him he was being transported to Hospital and the ambulance stalled on a rail road crossing, the para medics managed to leap out, leaving him inside the Ambulance, upon impact he was thrown high into the air, miraculously surviving yet again, only to be stung by a passing bee, sadly it turns out he was allergic to bee stings and was killed.
The airplane is conserved and cleaned , but it will be displayed in the condition it was salvaged. For a war museum on the airport this airplane was stationed on it is more interesting to have genuine FW then a restored one.
@SHODUUP It had just taken off from Herdla airfield north of Bergen when the engine developed mechanical problems, the pilot jettisoned the canopy before ditching the plane in shallow waters. A civilian fisherman rescued the pilot, in return the luftwaffe released a norwegian prisoner that had been put in jail for listening to illegal radio transmission from England.
I got some pieces of metal from a messcersmidt plane, dont know wich but it was a fighter plane, my mother picked them up in norway while she were walking in some mountains or whatever ^^
Little polish and paint and that thing will be back in the air in no time. Seriously though- unless they are using it as a static display I think it would be easier to whittle a new one out of a block of aluminum. They really have there work cut out for them.
Lol, yeah, allied bombing kind of forced plants in places like Bremen to go underground. How many are planning to be built? Just a handfull? I'd love to see one fly. Gives me chills.
The original production plan was 12 new aircraft. This has been increased to 20. As far as I know, none will use the original BMW engine, but that could change. At least one new D-9 model was completed with an Allison V-12 engine but has not flown yet. Another new D-9 fuselage is being used for a restoration in Belgium.
Thw Allison powerplant would nice, as long as they would keep a way exhaust it into sounding like the throaty rumble that the original BMW engines had. With 20 flying around, I'm bound to see one somewhere. I can't wait. I've been wanting to see a flying FW-190 since I was a child. Thanks.
I'm interested in finding out the conservation measures used to preserve the airframe after recovery. How did they do it, or is it now a pile of rusty aluminium?
What were the reasons for its recovery? Was there some archaeological question that needed to be answered? I just don't get it - wreck site recovery for no apparent reason.
Conservation will probably include time in a chemical bath to extract the salt that has been absorbed by the metal and other materials, then the cleanup begins. Deterioration can sometimes increase after items are removed from the water. Why recover it? Well it's history and it's not a grave. These warplanes will NOT last forever in the jungles or on the ocean floor, but will rot away unless they are saved. I think this plane will be put on display as is, preserving originality.
Warbird air musem at Tico Airport titusville ,florida,there they can answer any questions about recovery and restoration of Aircraft,all former Military aircraft,They are working on several projects now ,do a search for Valiant Air Command and im sure you will find there Web site of interest,Its non profit solely to restore and preserve aircraft usually to flying condition,
Wouldn't call that intact necessarily, but salvageable. They restored that P38 after recovering it from an icy tomb in Greenland. Something tells me that this will be a bigger challenge.
Yeah, it is too bad. Imo, they should rebuild some of the planes and fly them around. Hell, I'd buy one and fly it from time to time (of course there'd be no guns installed)
Me too. I dream of what it would be like to own a P-38, a P-51, a A-1 Skyraider, a A-4 Skyhawk or even an old DC-3 or Lockheed Constellation... Silly but it doesn't cost anything to imagine, and I know that some of these planes (A-4, for example, starts at $250,000, DC-3 freighters start at under $200,000) are available for sale online. I know that running, maintenance, and hanger costs would be truly staggering. One would need to share expenses for sure!
I doubt it without the LOA from the FAA qualifying you to fly it. At least one P-51 was in a partnership of several owners who shared flying time with it back in the 70s or 80s. One of them eventually crashed it and well, that was the end of it.
if you want to own a skyhawk our airforce is trying sell about twenty of them!! (new zealand airforce) they were converted in the 90's to bascially a F-16 cockpit ( glass cockpit fully digital), our government at the time got rid of them. We were supposed to replace them with F-16 but it was cancelled. Still sitting in hangers rotting away, i went to countless airshows with A-4's beating up the airstrip, such a waste.
Wow, what a ride that would be, and still a very good little fighter, even by more modern standards, I suppose, especially with the upgrades you mention. What a waste indeed!
weren't really classed as a fighter, more an attack aircaft hence A-4, but very nimble aircaft. They aren't able to break the sound barrier in level flight but i remember as a kid the air force guys taking a detour on the way back to Ohakea airbase to over the back of my place and climbing and then diving and breaking the sound barrier over our house!
"Glacier Girl" attempted to cross the Atlantic in June, 2007 to recreate and complete the mission she began in 1942 to England. She was forced back by a fuel leak in Newfoundland and was sold to a Texas air museum for $5.5 million later in 2007. The tragic crash you are thinking of involved a P38 piloted by Michael "Hoof" Proudfoot at an air show in Duxford England in 1996
Thanks for that info. Yeah, I saw the crash here on vid. Looked like the pilot was doing multilpe rolls at an downward pitch, and lost track of his altitude. Just a guess. I never read the crash report. Breaks my heart for the pilot and his family. The plane, even a P-38, is material. Can't replace Michael. Sad. Thanks again.
The Proudfoot crash report attributed the crash to something jamming his controls--such as his pilot clipboard. I'm not sure I believe that since the P-38 is bad for losing altitude during rolls--and it crashed during low-altitude rolling. But, that's what the accident investigation concluded.
FockeWulf Gelbe or Yellow16 of 12/JG5 took off from Herdla on December15 1943, trailing smoke with the engine running rough the pilot bellylanded in a smallinlet southwest of the airfield. Haveing made a good a landing the pilot jettisoned the canopy and left the cockpit as the plane settled in the water. Local Norwegianfisherman rowed to his assistance and where offered a reward for his rescue by Germanauthorities but refused to accept it. The airframe is thought to be Fw190A2RC+TY of IV/JG5.
I have been thinking same too... In Gulf of Finland, from Suursaari to St. Petersburg lays hundreads of planes. Mainly Soviets, but some Finnish and Gemans too.
The pilot did not die in the crash two fishermen's rescued him, and the Germans released a friend of them from prison as thanks for sawing the pilot. Their friend's crime was that he had listen to radio, and that was band during the war.
even if the pilot had gone down with the plane, his body would have disappeared almost completely within a couple months because of the fish, bacteria and water currents.
Sigh.. I think what's really funny is the fact how people cannot tell when someone is joking. Oh yes, they have the skeleton and EVERYTHING. In fact they take him out of the cockpit on hallowin and make him parade up and down the museum Goose step style. Gonna believe that one too? Geeez.
Two fishermen's rescued him, and the Germans released a friend of them from prison as thanks for sawing the pilot. Their friend's crime was that he had listen to radio, and that was band during the war.
Considering the swastika on the tail fin is visible there is an excellent chance it's unit markings are underneath the scum. This plane is is damn good shape considering where its been.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the tail ruder of the plane is turned on left................some stupid pilot........did he realy thought that he will save the plane with manover with thad ruuder ! :D
That one they found intact wrecked just sitting in the Russian swamp was so much cooler find... I wish they hadn't taken that video off Youtube. I think Paul Allen bought it or something.
Yes, Paul Allen now owns that aircraft. It has been undergoing restoration to airworthy condition (and very exacting standards) for some time and is nearly complete. Allen's collection has recently opened to the public, but they appear to still be sensitive about photos and info, so access to the restoration information is limited--perhaps to a few publications. Also, airworthy doesn't mean it will be flown--although many of his aircraft are a flown a few times each year.

looks like the pilot ditched. The canopy is gone.. I say that because if he bailed out the plane crashed on its own pretty gently!

is the skeleton visible in the video because I can't see it

The pilot did not die in the crash two fishermen's rescued him, and the Germans released a friend of them from prison as thanks for sawing the pilot. Their friend's crime was that he had listen to radio, and that was band during the war.

even if the pilot had gone down with the plane, his body would have disappeared almost completely within a couple months because of the fish, bacteria and water currents.

u should film when u have picked up it, it would be just sooooooooo cool, was it a skeleton in the cocpit ? :)

Yes there was a skeleton, it will also be displayed at the museum. It looks good sitting in there, it has a perpetual GRIN on its face lol.

He is a soldier... and should be buried with proper military honors. He should not be displayed like a merchant's wares.

Sigh.. I think what's really funny is the fact how people cannot tell when someone is joking. Oh yes, they have the skeleton and EVERYTHING. In fact they take him out of the cockpit on hallowin and make him parade up and down the museum Goose step style. Gonna believe that one too? Geeez.

Considering the swastika on the tail fin is visible there is an excellent chance it's unit markings are underneath the scum. This plane is is damn good shape considering where its been.

That one they found intact wrecked just sitting in the Russian swamp was so much cooler find... I wish they hadn't taken that video off Youtube. I think Paul Allen bought it or something.

paste this "Rosyjskie wykopki 4" in the search bar i think its the one you mean

Yes, Paul Allen now owns that aircraft. It has been undergoing restoration to airworthy condition (and very exacting standards) for some time and is nearly complete. Allen's collection has recently opened to the public, but they appear to still be sensitive about photos and info, so access to the restoration information is limited--perhaps to a few publications. Also, airworthy doesn't mean it will be flown--although many of his aircraft are a flown a few times each year.
