Now fighters for Allah uber alles.
It would be interesting if they really are there.
Weren’t there some Spitfires unearthed in Southeast Asia recently?
Old Russian proverb: “Nothing stays buried forever.”
Uluhan's qualifications? Owns The Blue Max, on VHS.
The FW190 was a really neat plane.
Typical editor mistakes in the headline. The planes were not buried at the US’s request. The US wanted them destroyed and Turkey supposedly chose to bury and hide them for possible future use.
Imagine an Oshkosh in tens years time...
A flight of FW-190’s dives down on a flight of B-17’s escorted by a flight of P-51’s.
And every kid’s eyes are filled with awe and wonder at the sights and sounds of it. (as well as mine.)
Oh, yes, rare jewels to be seen by all.
Going out on a limb here but I am going to say that the Focke-Wolf FW 190 were powered by BMW engines. Wouldn’t be surprised if they fired right up.
They were scrapped a long time ago.
France had some FW-190’s after the war too.
They found it far to difficult to maintain a combat plane whose source for parts was in rubble.
Bull dozed into a pile and burned.Just like they did all over the world after the war.They didn’t do that in the pacific islands though.They pushed all the p38s into a revine at clark afb and set a match to them.I will be real surprised if they buried the 190s intact.
This sounds exactly like the 50 Spitfires buried in Myanmar story of a few years ago which was equally rubbish.
If you want to store aircraft (or aircrafts as this article calls them) why would you bury them? I can’t think of a more absurd way to preserve and store aircraft than burying them under ground.
This will go like the 50 Spitfires buried in crates in Burma story ....nowhere
Nazi partisans continued to operate for 5 years after the end of the war.
The intent of the fighting was sought to end the war, as opposed to starting new wars using German equipment.
They may be able to be made flyable using CNC machines. The lack of parts may not be a problem. If the are bunkered rather buried.
