Great news as I thought it had all been scrapped. The fuselage guns had been hacked out with an angle grinder I was told.

The remains of the IJsselmeer Messerschmitt are currently being installed in the new Atlantikwall Centre in Den Helder. A fitting location, as the aircraft was shot down by AA-fire during a raid on Den Helder’s airfield De Kooy in May 1940. The pilot survived. Complete wing, substantial fuselage section and smaller parts to be on display soon.

Hi Cees,
Yesterday they commenced another salvage of a 109, this time in Apeldoorn.
