I have no idea of the condition of the plane. It may be a museum sale. It may have been dragged out of a Russian forest and requires a massive restoration. Something only a few like Kermit Weeks can afford to do.
My regards,
Widewing

That's odd. In the Messerschmitt 110 owner's manual, on pg. 34 it cleary states, "Nicht für Gebrauch in Wasser."

From talking to folks in the warbird world, the folks in Russia are really running a racket with the recovered airframes.
Lots of stuff turning up and being offered to the highest bidder. Apparently there are lots of hands in between that want their share too.
That being said a few 110s have come out, a number of Hurricane wrecks. P39s, P40s, P63s, a FW189, a 190A5 in remarkable condition, numerous 109 wrecks plus the Russian wrecks. I've seen photos of a lend lease Spit IX that came out and its at Duxford with the Fighter Collection.
The Hunt brothers in England have the wrecks of 5 P63s, an A20, a Kate and some other Japanese stuff that came out of the Kurile Isles as well as elsewhere in Russia.
Depending on who you ask, the B25 that was interned in Russia from the Doolittle Raid, may or may not still be around. There have been other wrecks found of lend lease stuff as well. There is some suggestion that a couple of 617 Lancs that were left behind after a Tirpitz raid may have survived, as well as stuff left behind by the USAAF on the shuttle runs.
In the end it all comes down to big bucks....which I don't have :)

There is probably plenty of material still to be found in Russia. Particularly the Siberian route might contain huge amount of wrecks.

Or in Pinsk (Pripet) marshes...

It is around, although not in Russia.

Any chance of expanding on that? :)
Always wondered about that bird. What a piece of history. I understand the USAF Museum was after it at one point.

Reynolds after four years in Germany I cant speak it but I learned to read some. Its actually kinda easy, just sound it out phonetically.
Nicht (Not) für (for) Gebrauch (im guessing "us" no idea) in Wasser (water)
at least thats how I remember it ;)

Well I'm Dutch so my German is at least reasonable. It translates into:
'Not for use in water'.
'Gebrauch' means literally 'use'.
But others got it already I guess ;)

I know nicht, so I got that, and I was able to guess wasser was watter so I was thinking:
"not blah-blah blah-blah water" lol. Thanks hogenbor. Love lerning all the german I can, even these tiny bits.

Well, Dutch is rather close to German, but German is grammatically quite different and this makes it difficult to write correctly and to a lesser extent speak it as well.
That having said, I can understand written and spoken German perfectly and can make myself understood in the language, that's enough ;) It is also quite nice to be able to read German aviation books and documents that mystify most Americans :D
Eventhough I work for Siemens, a German company, the official company language is English. No problem there, as most (younger) Germans are fluent enough in the language. Zey just have zis funny accent :D

I worked with a guy who was from Scheveningen, close to the Hague. He says that just before the invasion, German spys were sent into the Nederlands to stir up trouble and gather intell for the approching invasion.
Dutch police had a card with "Scheveningen" written on it, and when they suspected someone was a German, they pulled out the card and asked that the suspect pronounce the name. Germans could not get it right, but a born Dutchman could, so those who mispronounced were put in jail.

That's a nice story, but probably an urban myth. The Netherlands were a neutral country before WWII and hoped to remain so. Alas, it was not to be, we were overrun in a mere 4 days :( We had a grand total of one armoured car and a handful of half decent Fokkers, but most of these were destroyed on the ground.
There probably were German spies, but I doubt if they 'stirred up trouble'. I'd be happy to learn more though. The spies who were required to speak fluent Dutch were probably from mixed German/Dutch decent or had ties to German families (which is quite common here).
However, if you're not Dutch, 'Scheveningen' is a ***** to pronounce, that's true.
