Re: Battle of Britain Bf109E found in India a few years ago?
Still, this is not an English site, owned by a non English subject who is not on English territory, the same referring to me. I have just send an email to Jagan, who, I believe, does not qualify for British law either.
Let's hope he will provide us with the latest details. |

Re: Battle of Britain Bf109E found in India a few years ago?
Dont want to add any more than that it was still a live wire topic in 2006 in India.
http://www.warbirdsofindia.com/WDY/wbme109news.html Specific involvement of the Police in Karnataka at this link http://www.warbirdsofindia.com/WDY/2...E007100003.jpg No idea as to what happened after that. |

Amazing. Frankly, I'd rather see this important aircraft restored in England, than lying rusting on a scrap-heap in India. Legal ramifications aside, of course.

Re: Battle of Britain Bf109E found in India a few years ago?
I dont wanna add fuel to the fire.
But how can a German manufactured and flown aircraft, that crashed in England and was then sent on a tour by the British authorities be "Indian Heritage"??? This isnt like ripping out idols from temples or transporting mummified remains for the fertiliser market. This aircraft isnt the Elgin Marbles. I get a feeling this is a little bit of sellers remorse. Just my 2penn'orth. Nick |

Because the aircraft was a gift in exchange for funding Hyderabad RAF Squadrons. They paid for it, they got it, they kept it for years. Sure, it is their heritage, even if they did not manage to keep it in better conditions, and even if there were only a few Indian pilots in Europe.
You could keep your Messerschmitt in store for all those years as well, could not you? |

The marauders and burglars almost got away with it. However, a massive campaign, involving press and contacting authorities, was launched by Serbian enthusiasts. The scum already got some money and could not give it back to their English counterpart and they decided to wait. However by extraordinary stroke of luck and right person on the right place and right time the destiny of Stuka parts was sealed few years ago when it has been officially registered as property of the Museum of Military Aviation.
