| They have a static display Beaufort at the RAF museum hendon. It was made from several airframes salvaged from the far east.
The only places you'll find aircraft these days are in the Jungle, Possibly the desert & Russian steppes - the last one is where a lot of German Aircraft are coming from. Any other aircraft will come from various Lakes or the sea. and to get them up will take one hell of a fishing rod.

Now this one has had a prang too!
Its the same story of the BF109G with the DB engine - that was written off of flying in a crash landing. it has now been restored to static condition & sent to Hendon.
