Warbird Information Exchange

There is an Il-2 in storage at Garber, at NASM. I understand that it is fully restored, just needs paint. Was recovered from a lake; I think there was some controversy concerning the trade for this aircraft but never learned the details.

two Il-10 on storage in France at Melun (south of Paris) at the Musée de l'aviation de Melun

They are on a good condition

One of the two airframes would be restored to flying condition in the futur

Half Pint: the real story of the Pink Lady

Here is one that needs more than just a quick rub down with an oily rag.

On the dockside at Rotterdam a good few years back as part of a batch of more interesting aircraft exiting Russia, it was rebuilt to static display standard, despite my recommendation to just dump it in the dock.

Here's a Russian site that has some static displayed ones, you will have to look for them....

after seeing the hungarian wreck recovery pic it's amazing at the amount of steel that was used on that birdskie!! never saw more rust on a warbird!!
