G2+LH crashed during a survey mission at the Murmansk railroad line on October 17th 1944 killing all seven people on board. It took until 1996 to discover the remains of the aircraft, when Filipp Kuznetsov found it at the Kola Peninsula. In September 2001 the wreck was rescued with a Ka32 helicopter and was moved to Severomorsk from where it got to Moscow'S Poklonnaja Gora Museum. It is intended to use the wreck for the reconstruction of another Ju88 in Moscow.
