interesting recoveries
A couple of pics taken during my Russian visit in 1991 to Murmansk,Archanglis, and Obninsk.
Lots and lots of interesting ww11 and cold war hardware. These are just a couple.
Hope to have a full article with many photos reasonably soon.

Very interesting read that. It makes you wonder how many more aircraft like that are lying around!

12-.303s in a Hurri? Did I read that right? Did a little googling and indeed, there was a model with 12! Learn something new every day! Be interesting to see the follow up on this bird.
