Or did I just miss it?

Fw 190A-2/A-3 Werk Nummer:5425

Salvaged off of Solsvik, Norway on November 1, 2006

I searched the forum and found no mention of it. There is a spread of it in the latest issue of Flight Journal. Looks to be in great shape. A nice complete time capsule minus it's canopy. Still can make out the markings.

Was this discussed already?

Sheesh, y'all...be nice to poor Shay. Ever since the tragic dirigible collision, he hasn't been the same.
