On the subject of aircraft being ‘liberated’, I am sure we are all well aware of how ‘protective’ the Australian authorities are regarding the export of historic aircraft, I recall a certain British warbird enthusiast dismantled a certain Spitfire in Australia and exported it back to the UK described as ‘farm machine parts’. It was in so many pieces that they would never have recognised it at a Spitfire. Once back in the UK, it was rebuilt and is now flying today. Whether you regard this as a ‘crime’ or a ‘liberation back where it belongs’ is a matter of opinion.
They did catch the Me109 that is in the AWM on the way…Dodgy businesses are to do with anything with large amounts of money.It is same with fine art and rare cars and bikes..I have a feeling this threads on a Titanic mission.
