Freshly retrieved from ‘Crooked Lake’ near the town of Severomorsk in the Murmansk region of Russia is the IL-2 Sturmovik wreck pictured below. The wreck was lifted on 21st June 2012 by a team named ‘Icarus’ from the city of Zaozersk

Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik ,The plane performed the forced landing on the ice of Krivoye lake in November, 25th, 1943. The pilot and the wounded shooter survived, but the ice didn’t bear the weight of the plane and it the Il-2 sank on the bottom of the lake was under 17 meters of water.
Now it’s going to be sent to Novosibirsk for restoration
Its recovery followed a "truly remarkable" week-long operation initiated by the son of the pilot, who was forced to land the plane on the ice of Lake Krivoye in the northern Murmansk region, in November 1943, a Defense Ministry spokesman told RIA Novosti.
The plane will be repaired and turned into a monument.

2.25″ rocket container mk2 benco 1945

Hello all,

First post here. I was recently given an old rusty container by my neighbors. I recently started to sand it down to repaint it, with the intention of using it as a tool box. As I was sanding it down I noticed an inscription on top, it reads " 2"25 rocket container mk2 mod 0 439195 mc benco 1945" it has 4 latches, 2 on the front and 1 on each side. I was hoping someone could give me a little more info about this container, I certainly didn’t think it was that old. Here is a picture, any help is appreciated.

My first “New Generation”dress tunic 1956.

Gents….after some searching, much bidding (and failing!) I have been successful in obtaining my first example of the Bundewehr’s earliest and first Dress tunic….The "Ausgehanzug" a double breasted 4 row buttoned, two pocket dress tunic for NCO’S and Officers, it is for an Unteroffizier of the "Feldzeugtruppe". Manufactured in November 1956….and upgraded around mid 1957 with Litzen Collar patches, and tresse around the shoulder straps, prior to this modification it would of sported both U.S. style metal collar and metal rank insignia on the boards…Regulations specified that this style of tunic were worn by NCO’s from the rank of "Unteroffizier mit Portepee" (Feldwebel) and above,with the addition of "Altgold" piping to the collar…This example is clearly below that rank and has had no piping in place, such anomalies existed as regulations were often either misunderstood or neglected ! This style of tunic was replaced by the M1958 Dienstrock the first version of the four pocket style tunic still worn today.
This is not an "Affenjacke" (literally "Monkey jacket !) that was a short double breasted 3 row buttoned jacket with no pockets, for wear by all personal from enlisted man to General. I will show such a tunic, as I have managed to aquire one…when it arrives. Hope you like it !
Prost ! Steve.

Need help! Help with cap please

Hello all,

Headgear is not my strong-point and I’ll be the first to admit that. I don’t like the lining but the wear of the wool looks decent; this cap may be complete junk. Any opinions out there?
