I'd give you a like but I've run out...good vid

 

Same here, nice one though.

 

The retrevial of "Glacier Girl", shown at 1:50-1:53 still amazes me. Gotta' be one of the most difficult projects ever.

 

Give me a bottle of wine instead

 

Their is something sad about seeing all those great and now rare aircraft in that condition but I really enjoyed the video. Many thanks , I have not seen it before.

Very cool video; I recognized the craft at 0:30 and remembered this video about that same wreck:

The 190 was found in a forest outside Leningrad in 1989. The plane suffered from mechanical failure in its engine after being damaged by flak. The pilot, Paul Rätz, survived, was taken prisoner, and passed away in 1989.

 

Whose markings are on the B17 at 2:39? Looks like British or Commonwealth?

Or is it a star in a circle?

 

What is the Nazi aircraft at 3:14? Looks pretty short, or is it the camera angle?

 

Not Nazi, Finland Brewster Buffalo. Note the swastika is 'backward' and rotated from the Nazi version.

 

Ah! Thanks for that.
