Can anyone provide any information on a Finnish JU-88 which was
supposedly recovered from an unkown lake some 100 km south of
Leningrad (these days St Petersburg)in Russia in the 90's and now
resides somewhere in New Zealand?
The plane apparently ditched in late 1944.

Any info greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much,
Ian
