Fourth day. Nothing special. Next, lift the engine, that's interesting.

Sorry, but I misunderstood you. All found parts and engine are stored. The decision on them has not yet been taken.

Can someone suggest the coloring of this aircraft. Maybe someone has photos at least his unit in the period-autumn 1943.

I'd guess ... the normal RLM 74/75/76 camouflage with the Erla - mottling ...

Fifth day. As I said, the place of the find me109 forest, to pass by the technique for lifting there was no possibility. Therefore made a decision, do it on their own.

Thank you. And there are pictures of that time, autumn 43? Maybe someone has a photo of the very Otto Mixa.

Hello Otto,
First, thank you for posting these interesting photos.
Regarding the DB 605 for this recovery, has it been found and do you have any information on its Motornummer or other data?
Thanks,
Steve Sheflin

Hello. The sixth day. Continued to raise the engine. It was necessary partially to fall asleep a pit and to bring down a slope. If I'm not mistaken, the weight of the dry engine is about 800 kilograms plus oil and coolant residues.

Just like the bergungskommando!

:D

Sorry for the delay of messages. Today I will publish the last day of the expedition and start to publish the photo of the found parts of the aircraft.
The seventh day. We gather the camp, all the raised material is sorted and documented. For the arrival of the car had to cut through a 200 meter road in the forest, but that's already so, little things.

Hello. Many thanks for the very interesting photos.

Photo of personal things of the pilot. Let me remind you, Otto Mixa was transferred to the Volksbund and buried with military honors in the German national cemetery in the town of Kirovograd (Kropyvnytskyi).
