Color shot of Fürth aircraft dump needed
 

Hey guys,

There is a famous color shot of an aicraft dump at Fürth...has some Me109K's, Fw190 D-9...all in a hole.

I seem to have lost my high res image...can anyone re-post?

TIA

Mike

Hi Mike,

not a very Hi-Res version I'm afraid, but there you go!

Cheers,

Hi Giampiero,
not a hundred percent sure, but it should be either in Jet&Prop 2/94 or 3/94...At least that's were I saw it for the first time

Perfect thanks!

Doesn't that make you just sad?

:(

For me the obvious follow on question, is was the hole buried (and relics within) and potentially still exists unfound? Or was it left open and been scavenged over the years?

Re: Color shot of Fürth aircraft dump needed
 

The hole is still there...but it is now under a forest. Supposedly some people have tried digging, but there is really nothing left...and it is nearly impossible.

I do not know the where in Germany, but circa late '70's one of the many I am sure left over aviation dumps. You can pick out some items here and there.

Holy ... What a sight, and that long after the war :eek: Looks like there was enough stuff to fill the cabinets of every member here. If only one could find or dig up a treasure trove like this today. Thanks for those pics!

terrific !

I thought Furth was taken over by the Americans and this dump was extended and filled etc by the Americans adding to it. I believe it is still there.

Was on airbases in Germany in the late 70's. Use to play in a Hastings fusealge but no German stuff. :(

why couldn't I have been alive in the 1970's?

:(

There is an Me262 wreck in that scrap pile...DB605...Me110 parts...DOAH!

Re: Color shot of Fürth aircraft dump needed

Hello,

in Fürth is nothing left from the holy grail...
All was excavated in the 1950s/60s, recycling...
the cavity was filled as a dump...
today a hill on top with a solar plant...
course of the world...
