Hi Me-109E,

I was in Russia in 1991 and 1992 up in the Kola peninsuler.

I came : I saw: but I could not deal with anyone who was trustworthy. I have many pictures of Hurricanes, 109’s, Tomahawks, Ju 88. Aircraft I could touch and see for myself. In those early days everything was 1m dollars and in many respects I was too early do do sensible business.
Since then Jim Pierce and others have manged to work out a business relationship whereby some good and not so good deals have been accomplished. Many other people have failed.
The Hurricane B-GO was sold to three different buyers who, I believe, lost thousands of GBP’s in the process.
You have to find the contact you can trust in Russia (very difficult). Words are cheap over there. Life is cheap over there, and there are more worthless paper contracts than Tesco’s wrappings worldwide, over there.
Take good advise from anyone who will give it to you. Keep your money in an escrow type account and good luck.
He who dares ect………

(Hey, the girls are pretty)

Thanks for that, appreciate your advice, if only id won the £88million euro millions the other week, and funny enough a Stirling would be right next to the 109E I want!!:D

You could try and recover this 109 from Berkshire.

Ah so this is where this 109 ended up.

Mod note – please do not cast aspersions! Post modified accordingly

You could try contacting Jim Pearce who has had experience with russian recoveries. Someone here might be able to provide you with contact info.

Thanks Peter,

I have spoke to Jim, but I have never mentioned that I would like to carry out my own recoveries, I know that the Hunt brothers do the same thing, but I would feel very awkward in asking them how they go about it if you know what I mean, I just don’t want to ‘step on peoples toes’ 😮
