After the war didn't the Russians bury/dismantle planes to avoid paying for them later?

I'm not sure but that wouldn't surprise me at all given the politics of the time.

Well that makes two of us on not knowing. Why I thought captured when they were Allies, I don't know. lolStuart wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2026 5:24 pmThanks Joe - that's really appreciated! remustang1989 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2026 3:23 pm Love what you've done with this "shotgun" bunch of Spitfires Stuart. Never seen a Russian captured Spit but it makes for some good conversation.
You've been a very busy man with these.
It's not actually a captured Ruskie Spitfire, we actually gave them about 2000 of them in WWII under lend-lease - a fact I didn't know until recently.
