50 FW-190's has been found buried in Turkey

It's being called BS on all of the historic aircraft sites, at least for the time being - the story itself has been around for ages, so until there are remains of aircraft actually coming to the surface and photographed (much like the buried Spitfires in Burma)...

Recently there was also a story that came out of a previously unknown, original, Do-335 found in the basement of a castle in Germany, supposedly left there by the Germans at the end of the war - except that it is only a replica, that was constructed in modern years by Holger Bull (known for producing replicas/full scale models of WWII German and "Luftwaffe '46" aircraft), using some original parts.

First two photos are of the Flugwerk replica that used to be based in France (since ditched in the sea/now under rebuild in Germany). The video features another Flugwerk replica, based in New Zealand (also currently down for major repairs). The two B&W photos showing both 190s and Spitfires are both (rather poor) mash-ups of photos.
 
The 190 and Spitfire, based on their positions relative to one another, are headed for a mid-air collision in the third photo. Can't be an actual photo, has to be a composite.
 
Just like the 'Burma Spitfires' ........ :biggrin-new:
If it looks like a steaming pile and smells like a steaming pile it probably is a steaming pile!
