Hi Martti;

I wonder is the parts recovered from the lake to be put in museum or are they sold as scrap. Is it possible to get in touch with someone concerning this.

All the "war stuff" (in Finland) are property of Finnish Defence Forces and thus property of Finnish Military Museum.

Sodan aikana Liperiin pudonneesta Junkers-pommikoneesta on löydetty toinen lentopommi. Järven pohjasta löydetty pommi on samanlainen 250 kilon lentopommi kuin ensimmäinenkin, joka räjäytettiin paikan päällä vajaat pari viikkoa sitten. Toinen pommi pyritään hävittämään Rauvanselällä vielä loppuviikon aikana. Töiden vuoksi vaara-alue joudutaan jälleen eristämään ja lähitalot evakuoimaan.

Junkersin hylystä on nostettu tällä viikolla koneen vasen moottori. Torstaina paikalta löydettiin myös oikeanpuoleinen moottori. Se nostetaan pintaan myöhemmin. Kaikki hylystä löytyvät osat ja esineet luovutetaan aikanaan Keski-Suomen Ilmailumuseolle.]

A second SC250 has been found. Also they have located both engines and the left one has been raised.

Two SC500s have been located and destroyed. That makes 2xSC250 + 2xSC500.

Re: Finnish Junkers Ju 88 recovery

The Ministry of Defence has authorized the non-museum value items from the wreck to be sold for collectors. All profits are to be directed to Finnish war veterans. They are probably selling random pieces through a web store.

Two photos of the pieces of the future sale can be seen on page three.
