Interestingly, Ju-87R-2 reg.no. A5+HL was abandoned in North Africa and found by British forces in 1941. It was restored in 1974 and is now part of the collection of the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago, IL, USA. Ref. https://aerialvisuals.ca/AirframeDos...hp?Serial=8935

Pictured by Steve Nelson in the Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago, 2016. Reportedly, much of the original paint and condition (including shrapnel damage) was preserved when it was restored by the EAA.
