This aircraft was one of the original Ju88 delivered to the Finish Air Force. JK-260 was forced landed on 6th October 1944 on a lake 100km South of St. Petersburg after running out of fuel following radio and navigation trouble. Since the late 80s the Paimion Paroni Automuseo was under discussion with Russian government for a rescue project of this aircraft. With the closure of this museum in 1995, the current status of this aircraft is not well known. Some reports speak of that the aircraft has been rescued already and was moved to New Zealand others still mention this aircraft at its crashsite.
