Re: 'Yellow 16' recovered today

Mr. Beaman.

You are correct in that the cooling slits are wrong on my profile. That was because I expected them to be modified as on many other A-2/3s used by JG 5 in 1943-45, i.e. with cooling flaps attached (I started work on this profile months ago, working from underwater photage). See for instance how the majority of 14.(J)/JG 5's A-3s appeared.

This correction and a few other imrpovements are being implemented right now!

The MG cover and MG 17s were removed by divers prior to the rescue.
