Aviation Archaeology Japan???

Hi all,

I just wondered, with the european passion for aviation archaeology over the past 40 years, has anyone ever heard of the Japanese, or Chinese, having such a undertaking ????..

with all the Jap fighters that were in the home defence , i should imagine the losses were quite high, and wondered has anyone heard of aircraft recovery in Japan itself.. or is it illegal ??

just out of interest, i would love to find out .. :confused:

Having spent a few years in the country as a child, there is (or was) a good bit of open ground where debris could still be hiding.
Specifically, I’m thinking of rice paddies..as we’ve seen from other wet crash sites, a lot of wreckage could still be down there. Now whether it’s worth digging up could be another matter.
Likewise, there is some remote and mountainous areas.

Shame it’s in Nipponese, not being that able to recognise the various types from the parts.
