Hi Alex,
I never realised the whirlwinds had scrambled for this a/c.
The 109 was first excavated by DARRT, ( devon based recovery group) and later Kurt came to england,( invited by that group ), he stayed locally to the crash site, then spent a few days in torquay before returning to germany.
If you want more info I have a file of stuff also, crash report, etc, part extract of a pow interview, also somewhere video footage I made of him during his visit, but it will take sometime to find the box it is in.
The 109 was apparently a specialy modified E-7, not a field conversion, but apparently done in a factory in france.
Official crash site was mardoen woods, n/w buckfastleigh, apparently a lot was recovered and the fuselage (?) left from the local railway station.
The interesting part of the story i think is, that after landing kurt threw his personal leica camera over a hedge, and it was never found....
Cheers
