... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

"Over the years the instruments were lost to looters"

Something thats been sitting there for 60 years and people come along and take stuff off it for that period of time before someone finally decides to retrieve and restore it. I dont call "looters".

 Souvenir  hunters? yes
 Garbage pickers? yes.

  Looting? no

Still. Im glad someone did finally decide to retrieve it and restore it. She's a beautiful bird

The first part with the background info on "Black 3" was from the presentation. I just translated it from Norwegian.
