All I can say is WOW!
A warning though, on that sight there are more recoveries and some pics are disturbing and not for children!:eek:

Fascinating forum, lots of excellent pics.
I don’t think publishing photos of bodies is either necessary or desirable, however well-preserved they may be.
Dignity and respect for the deceased seems to have gone out of the window here…

If you’ve ever worked with a Russian, you’ll find that they have very different attitudes to that sort of thing… And, after all the fuss about showing pictures of “enemy” corpses from Iraq as opposed to those of “our boys”, back when that little lot kicked off, when we have a lead like that from our media who are we to say “no” to them?
Unfortunately, if we were to “discuss” this, I think the resulting argument would run on for months! There is no simple answer…

Just my opinion.

Guys,
The last Warbirds Worldwide magazine was published in 2000.
Z5252 recovery took place in October 2004.

New pics ? I recall seeing these in an old ‘Warbirds Worlwide’ at the time.
Z5252 was recovered a while ago and brought to the UK.
