Yes but the number of parts from it for sale in UK over the last few years – it must also be a shell !

It was one of the ones brought back from Russia – 0875709

There are probably enough chunks of Stuka scattered in museums worldwide to put together a complete example.

Here’s Berlin’s Technikmuseum’s exampe.
It is in very good shape with not much corrosion apart from some missing panels:D

Then there is the Chicago museum’s unique Ju-87B : if they haven’t dropped it (yet again)………
N.B. Actually it is mentioned, along with the other two,in the text of the article.

by “remarkably well preserved” do they mean “totally knackered” ?
Seems most of the removable bits have been removed. The rest is a corroded wreck.

Quote from the article

” The wreck is remarkably well preserved; it is even said to be the world’s best preserved Stuka bomber. “

I think the RAF Museum might have something to say about that.

They failed to mention the very substantial wreck at the Technikmuseum Berlin. Never heard about the Norwegian recovery.
The engine came from another bay? Is it truly from this aircraft or from just another German wreck (Junkers, Heinkel).
Interesting what still lies beneath.
