Half asleep after returning from Missouri, sorry about the missing Comma! 🙂

What a Bloody shame to see it in this condition, many aircrew were saved by boats like this. I suppose that everything cannot be preserved with limited time and funds though, looks like the skip would be more bouyant at the moment 😉

This is the reply I got from your original question when I asked on another BB:

“You can only change the radio speeches, but you can’t touch the engine sounds, those are hardcoded into the sim and only the 1C team can modify them… which is a real shame since the sound engine is in my book the greatest shortcoming of FB “

The DeHavilland museum at St Albans has a goodly portion of one, recovered from a garden in Oxfordshire and used as a shed.
I was very surprised at how robust the construction was (still is!) of this type of aircraft. One thing I have never quite understood though is were they really only built for a ‘one way trip’ or designed to be recoverable and reused again?.

Attaboy!
A good self taught education can work wonders 🙂 , and when it starts to wet your appetite for more then you can link films like “A Bridge Too Far” the story of the Arnhem airborne drops in Sept 1944 into the scheme of the Battle for Germany.
As a side note my Son Alec who is 22 recently took part in a BBC documentry on D-Day entitled D-Day, The Raw Recruits , (last one tonight !), this was to see if the youth of today matched up to their Grandfathers who landed on the Beaches in Normandy, although he is deeply interested in History it was still an eye opener for him, and I am proud of him for trying to emulate his own Grandfathers deeds in some small way. Plus the lucky little git got an hour and threequarters in the back seat of a Jaguar for this last programme 😡

I remember the two aircraft when I was at Duxford with the Essex Aviation Group back in 1980, The Rudder/tailfin of the Heinkel is still at Duxford in one of the Hangers I think, the 109 I am not sure about, I remember seeing the nose cowling with the gun ports at one time, but that was all.
That reminds me , what happened to what was left of Rudolf Hess’s 110?.

In short:
D-Day was the designated starting day of the invasion of German occupied Europe.
The main goal and objective was the ejection of enemy forces and the reinstatement of sovereign Governments.
Aircraft played a major role ranging from bombardment of the coastal defences, providing a means of deception in that aircraft from RAF Bomber command flew a creeping racetrack pattern to the Pas De Calais imitating a large fleet of ships at sea that could be picked up by Enemy Radar, to the dropping of paratroops behind the main invasion area some hours before the main invasion landed.And of course fighter and fighter/bomber sweeps and attacks in support of the ground troops
Casualties,
try a google search for the true amount, it’s not something that can be described in short.

Hope this helps
