In fact there were, and a few years ago, Jet & Prop had an article on the rollout of the restored a/c in Germany -- a Bf 110F/Trop as I recall.

Another Bf.110 coming from Russia was stored till some years ago at the AREA plant near Venegono (Varese, Italy). Now it should be owned by a private: see

There have been a few!

Bf110 C 3115 LN+ER = parts recovered.
Bf110 E-2 4502 M8+ZE remains stored in Berlin
Bf110 F-2 Trop 5052 LN+NR restored and on display in Berlin.
Bf110 G-2 5227 1B+HX Still looking in northern Russia
Bf110 E 5020 recovered - parts in Russia
Bf110 F 5050 LN+AR - parts in Russia
Bf110 G recovered from parts of lake in Austria

There was another C model recovered from the north - recon aircraft and another from the Black Sea - AREA

As for the Fw189. Jim Pearce is 78 years old or so and the financial backing is not there 100% to get the plane restored and kept. It has therefore reluctantly had to be put on the market along with the Bf109 and P39.

Thank you for the information on the FW189. I had the feeling that the situation was as you described. Certainly a lot of good work was done on the aircraft in the attempt to make it airworthy and a new owner will have a lot of his work already complete.

Not from Russia, but retrieved from the lake Upmasjaure in Sweden, Bf 110 D-0, W.Nr. 3154, NO+DS, in 1995. The remains are now in Technik Museum Speyer, Sinsheim.

It is not 100% clear how the aircraft ended up in the lake even if parts of the events have been revealed through research in later years.
It is believed the aircraft, belonging to 2./ZG 76, landed on the ice 24.05.1940 after having started from Trondheim/Vaernes, Norway, to escort a Ju 52/3m with paratroopers to Narvik.
It is assumed it was damaged in a fight with RAF Gladiators and forced to make a belly landing on the frozen lake in Sweden.
On the 26:th a He 59 (D-ALYO) from Seenotflugkommando 1 in Trondheim landed on the ice and rescued the crew from Swedish territory, bringing Fw Neureiter and Stabsing. Thönes back to Trondheim!
The wreck was not found until 1946 after it had sunk into the lake.
Source:
Tyska Nödlandare 1939-1945, P. 35, Bo Widfeldt, Air Historic Research, 2007.

Descriptions of this event can also be found in Mr Widfeldt’s earlier works on aircraft landing in Sweden during WW2 - Also in his only book in English on the subject of German landings, “The Luftwaffe in Sweden 1939-1945”, Monogram, 1983. Later research has however added to, and also changed, the descriptions of the events as described in his earlier book.
