Re: Scrapped planes after WWII

hello all,
i know from aplace here in belgium after the war there was a dump were planes were collected from everywere.up to the 50th you could still see piles of them you had a hard time to see the church tower.
at a german dump planes came out of the east countries until 70-80 to be scrapted.
its still unbelieveble what can be found even today but you have to go to east countries

Re: Scrapped planes after WWII

Nonsense. There was a shortage of aluminum in the Eastern Block, and almost everything was melted down. Most of the recoveries from 'the East' are aircraft and tanks illegally removed from remote areas.

Re: Scrapped planes after WWII

Hello wranek,
maybe in poland that was the case to collect alu coz of the shortage,but as i have contacts in some east countries I know about what i am talking.
even last year i collected german airplane parts in chech rep.
even in russia remoted area's you have to be surprised what still can be recovered those days left behind by russian and german forces,i saw it all on video taken by russians who visited my place here only a few years ago.!
3 years ago i recovered luftwaffe items that came from a dump in germany
and i have the evidence from this.
its like with everything you have to know the contacts and the places.
I have been to norway on wrecks,thanks to local guides and with cooperation of norweagan air force we were able to come to those wrecks.if you go to norway and tour around and you don't know anything you can drive around for a year without finding it.
all this is talking about personal experience and not from "i have heard from people..."
kindly regards
phil
