Does anyone have info on the new Me109G-10 found in Steinhuder Lake?

I did research on the 2TAF for Axrl Urbanke's book on the Fw190 with JG54/JG26

There were literally a dozen crashes/force landings in a number of lakes in April/May 1945. These include Fw190A's, Fw190D's, Seibel 204. (There is probably more in other areas - possibly 2 Bf110's in Bad Zwichenahn also.

All were in Schwerinersee and 1/2 others.

When Fw190D Black 8 was recovered in 1991 so the location was known but the wreck recovered was from another Fw190D lost a week earlier. Also a MiG15/17 nice and silver with a red star was seen on the underwater camera/sonar as well. Still there. Advantage of poor visibility and also no scuba between 1945 and 1990. Has anyone seen anything since?

There is probably a lot still there. Getting it up is the problem.
