IRTY1941:

I only know of two pieces, one is the step that was attached to the fuselage that is at the IMW and the other is a cut section of the fuselage that RAF has.

The fuselage was not likely salvaged as junk.

This is the last known photo of 425/17:


As you can see the plane was heavily striped for souvenirs.

No no no- they did not destry anything! They do their job perfectly. MRV was evil enemy and no reason to keep enemy's wreck intact. There was much of airplanes so why to keep this particular sample.

I am curisoius why nothing is coming from former Soviet Union? As I know MRV house is over run with Soviet troops in WW2 and his house was loaded with various interesting material.
