Ju-87 salvaged off Rhodes Island
Ju-87 STUKA salvaged in Rhodes Island
A JU-87 (possibly - but not yet verified- S7+GM, werk number 100375) was salvaged today off Rhodes Island by the Hellenic Air Force Underwater Operations Team. The aircraft is in fairly good condition, but the tail and engine are missing. Currently, specialised technicians of the HAF Museum are undergoing the urgently required restoration works before transporting it to Dhekeleia Air Base. Please visit the (Greek section) of the HAF official site: www.haf.gr for further details and some first pictures!!

Re: Ju-87 salvaged off Rhodes Island
Thanks for posting this. I lived on Rhodes, and heard that a JU 52 is located off the south end of the island, and dates from the 1943 encounters between German and Italian forces.

Ju 87D-3/Trop WNr.100375, coded S7+GM (white G), Lt. Rolf Metzger & Uffz. Hans Sopnemann, both MIA 9.Oct. 43 after being shot down by enemy fighters. That is of course if the wreck turns out to be what it is thought! Anyone have anything further...what was the nature of the mission that day and so on? Dave
