This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

My bet would be on Norway or Scandinavia in general as well. Look at the recent past (Ju-88's, Heinkel, Halifaxes etc.)

Mmm yes, just make sure you bring your pontoons and scuba gear
Any news about the three Hurribirds?

How about some PV-1/2's in the sky? Its rare and basic starter kits seem to be every where in the states?
PB4Y, PBY, A-26... where up for sale a few months ago.
There is a LB-30 that needs someone to giver her some love in the states.
What about those a/c stuffed in barns still, we all know they are out there. But where?

Has anyone considered Libiya now that relations are normalising, there must still a hell of a lot of gear buried under the sand even after the scrap drives of the '50s. It'll still be in pretty good condition and just need a lot of vacuming.

Not sure what, if anything, would be up there, but ever since reading of the early RAF raids on Italian industrial targets, I've been wondering what became of the Wellingtons, Stirlings and Halifaxes that came to grief in and around the Alps...

Probably still there in some cases Steve. Just look at some of the High Ground wrecks in the UK, and what has come off them in recent years.
I did see a reference work done by an Austrian, on Alpine wrecks on his manor. There were an awful lot of them. It is on the net somewhere. Possibly google on B-24+ Austria?

No need to get feet wet, climb a mountain or visit the desert. Start off by scouring the world's scrapyards?
