Zakkandrachoff, the Ju88 airframes that have been used for the Mistel were generally so old and worn that they couldn't be used for normal duties anymore.

About the Do17: Amazing find! Can't wait to see that one being recovered!

By the way, does someone know what is the inscription stenciled on Do 17 Z access hatch "Zurück um den..."?
Info needed for some (next?) future SoW skins ;-)
Thanks in advance!

First we need Do 17 gorgeous winter skins of the LENTOLAIVUE 46 ; ))

German Writing on the hatch is:

ZURÜCK!
Um den Motor herum-
gehen, von hinten
einsteigen

Danke sehr, Kodiak!

I wonder how the SoW 17's look like now. :)

New news!

I'd imagine there are plenty more wrecks like this, coming to light, as sonar improves, and more people are using it.

Looking forward to the rest of the story.
