Bf 109 parts in the coutry surrounding the WNF "DIANA" assembly plant in Tisnov

Dear all,

To widen a bit the theme of late-war Messerschmitt production, here two links illustrating what can be still found now in the coutry surrounding the former WNF "Diana" tunnel assembly plant, near Tisnov.

Between main and tail wheels and those paint flasks still full with original RLM colours (!), what amazes me the most are the fuselages spars still used as fences nowadays! Great!For a full history of the DIANA works, please refer to Janda, A. and Poruba, T. (2004), Messerschmitt Bf 109G-10/U4, Production & Operational Service, JaPo). For a full account of this totally amazing paint find, check out here:

The second link shows a lot of metal skin from Bf 109's; as I do not master Czeck, I cannot tell you where it was found.

Any such occurrences in the Vilseck-Amberg-Schafhof area still extent nowadays?

Cheers
