Me262 found at Deelen

http://www.museumvlbdeelen.nl/me-262-opgegraven/

A rough translation:
Near the airfield of Deelen (Arnhem) an Me 262 has been found. A team was digging in former bomb craters
and in one of them they stumbled on airplane parts that turned out to be from a 262. Recognisable was the
nose with it's four openings for the cannon. Digging was done by hand and at the end of the day a big part
still couldn't be taken out: wing(part) and landinggear.
The team decided to continue another day, a good dicision as more was found: engine parts and the heavy wingspar.
A possibility is that this machine came down near Elden and was then used to fill this bombcrater.

In the future more info will be revealed....
