Quite a nice site with LOTS of pics of captured stuff, on both sides, centred in WWII, but with a few Cold War captures right at the end.

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Wow, that is a great find.  I have a thing for captured/exploited types and there are several in that article that I did not know were captured (like the Martin B-26) and many photographs I had never seen before, thanks for the link.

I was looking up some  information on the groups who went round Germany in mid-late 1945 collecting Luftwaffe aircraft etc to bring back to the UK for the backstory for the He 119 V10.

I didn't actually find anything on them but I did find that. Worth it I think.
