According to this post: http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...437#post252437 the Wk/nr of this A/C could be: 310320

Re: He 219 found in Denmark !!!
 

NO NO... This number is for control part 219-320

Re: He 219 found in Denmark !!!
 

Then why even recover it, if the end result is nothing more than a free for all?

Re: He 219 found in Denmark !!!
 

The man behind the recovery did start to renovate it, but during the process he suddenly passed away. And for a while no one did do anything around the parts wich was left out in the open. No museum in Denmark could afford to by and renovate it, so it was sold abroad to the highest bidder.

An article in the August 2018 edition of Smithsonian's Air&Space magazine describes the effort in Udvar-Hazy's restoration shop on the He219 radar dipoles and how they are being reconstructed from what was found on the Denmark wreckage.

Dipoles are made overseas (exact copies)...not really sure why they would bother spending the time and effort to copy the Denmark one, when they can readily get them Germany?

Re: He 219 found in Denmark !!!
 

If you read the article you will understand why. It is fairly detailed and involves more than just the dipoles.
