mmmmmmmm....

Not sure if "recovered" is the right word.

It was sitting in a farmers field, and the farmer wanted it GONE. In the 1990's the Belgium Government's rule was "if it is on your property, it is your problem".

A local drunk knew about it...and made a deal to remove the wreck as long as he gets to keep it.

So...they agreed.

he, along with some other locals, recovered what was there...a few bits were kept...the rest were sold to a scrap dealer so he could use the money for alcohol. I think he got what would be the equivalent of around 500,00 euro for everything.

The proud seller can be seen in the white shirt.
