In June 2010 three deminers were killed in the German city of Goettingen, by the detonation of a projectile of 500 kilos before he could be disabled.

And do not think it will be the last news of explosions war materiel ...

HAHA.... yup its true.. happens all the time in the UK to be honest. Some part of the country is pulling WW2 ordnance out of the ground on a daily basis. Same as in Germany I suspect.

It looks like one.

 

[Wigam]

I'm too lazy to rotate my head to make it the right way, lol.

 

[Bootie]

HAHAHA.... just grab the monitor and knock it of the desk.

 

[Bootie]

More excellent pictures... thankyou.

 

[ACSpectre]

Great pictures, Louis.

 

[Wigam]

That looks pretty much intact, wonder if the engine could be fixed and made to fly.

 

[Louis]

Imagine Wig corrosion must have the motor?
I do not think it could fly again ...

 

[Bootie]

Yeah I wouldnt like to be the test pilot. :yield:

 

[Louis]

Cool Wig!

 

[Bootie]

:RpS_crying: Rather graphic picture. Poor man.... and what happened to his feet? At least his family can give him a proper send of.

 

[Bootie]

Amazingly well preserved.. even the paper.

 

[Louis]

Amazingly well preserved.. even the paper.

I heard somewhere that mud preserves better than water, can it be?

 

[Louis]

Wow, seems asleep ...

 

[Wigam]

Saw that one too, but it was not one I wanted to put up, but the story goes that when the plane went in the rudder pedal took his feet off. Ouch.

 

[Wigam]

:RpS_scared: Wow, seems asleep ...

He does seem asleep

There was a "dream machines" show at my local airport in Half Moon Bay, CA a year ago and I wandered over to look at all the custom cars and there were a few aircraft as well.
In particular there was a Mitsubishi A6M Zero on display. Talk about awesome!
It was surprisingly larger than I expected and looked dangerous as hell just sitting there.
