I think we are all waiting on if he is still alive or not.  Reports from the crash don't look too hopeful.

 Of course I don't think he's alive...but the reason no  one has posted anything yet, imo is that they haven't found a body.  Or they haven't found him alive,  going for the whole optimist thing here.  You guys need to get out more.

Odd that hikers first found his wallet. Well away from the wreck.
Any body remains?
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

If he was in the cockpit I'd put my money on that there should be some mess...un-devoured.

You may find bones, maybe a skull - but the report says he lawndarted at high speed.
