Thanks, I had heard of the ‘Black cat pass’ B-17, but not of its RAF history

I’m not a fan of threads without any description of content.

A lot of it was new to me – I enjoyed it, thanks for posting. Also, I didn’t know about the new P38 expedition – exciting!

At 4.24 in during the ‘Swamp Ghost’ find pictures from the OP’s post, there is a B-17 with a broken rear fuselage, the faded paint shows an RAF roundel on a wing, fuselage & tail markings?

The best listings and articles on recoveries from the former Soviet Union. were published in Warbirds Worldwide and written by Mark Sheppard.

I didn’t see anything incredible or new.

Does everything posted have to be “new”…..??? It was “new” to me…..

Ditto Glenn Miller: I think he’s still missing. Might be worth posting some stuff on that too.

I did not claim there was anything new..many just aren’t familiar with almost intact FW-190s that are being found there.

this is a slide show and a few vid clips of known wreck sites a few lake recoveries and mostly soviet era abandoned hardware, some dreadful arty ?shaky cam plus really annoying adverts.No new content and no info on subjects.

There was lot more than that.

But there are a lot of ACs in the forests and lakes of Russia.
