Each such aircraft - the whole story, which you can write a separate book. Get it out of the ground and turned into a museum piece is not too difficult. In a hundred times harder to make the plane could fly. Usually, it takes years.

Were able to establish the history and "blinking". As you know, at the beginning of the war this type of fighters in the Moscow sky was basic. In October 1941, Moscow, very close to the German troops, planes and air defense of the summer afternoon on combat missions as a simple front-line fighters, attack planes and supporting departures bombers.
October 2, 1941 the 28th Fighter Regiment from the 6th Air Defense Corps Moscow covered stormtrooper action near the town of Ostashkov. On that day, the squadron commander Eremeyev flew with the young pilots Tyurin and Krapivko. Upon successful completion of a combat mission, they returned to the airfield. Suddenly, six "Messerschmitt" emerged from the clouds. Began a fierce battle. But forces were unequal, the Germans managed to knock down all three "blinking". The plane, which was found and restored, piloted Krapivko. In the pilot survived the battle, leaving the car. But before Victory Krapivko not live - he died in 1942 at Stalingrad.
Many similar findings were found in the Murmansk region. For example, in June 2012 from the lake curves in the Arctic was raised famous attack aircraft "IL-2" strikes fear in the Germans of their combat power and vitality. He is currently under restoration in Novosibirsk - the only place in Russia where restored rare flying machines. There is hope that in 3-4 years, "IL-2" rise into the air. It is curious that a month before it in the same lake has been found other fighter - "Yak-1", which is now in a museum in Moscow Vadim Zadorozhnogo.

And in 2004, from the bottom of the lake in the Arctic was raised legendary British fighter "Hawker Hurricane," which was presented in 1943, the British Royal Air Force pilots Northern Fleet Air Force commander Major General Kuznetsov. It is on this plane flew the famous pilot - Hero of the Soviet Union Boris Safonov. In the Murmansk region found several more aircraft are yet to be raised. Details Boris Osyatinsky did not disclose, but stressed that this fighter in the cockpits of which are still dead pilots.
Paradoxically, the federal budget for the restoration of historic aircraft money is not listed, added Osyatinsky. Financial help to fund only businessmen, indifferent to aviation, and one of them - the founder of the museum of military equipment Vadim Zadorozhnyj.
