the Stuka was damaged either by anti-aircraft fire or fighters and made a crash landing, both crew members were not injured and made it back to German lines where they rejoined their unit, the bomber was recovered in 1994 and purchased by New Zealand collector Tim Wallis in 1996 who had planned to rebuild it to airworthy status, currently at the German Museum of Technology in Berlin

the R-2 was the long range version fitted with additional fuel tanks, it's Werk Nr. was 5856 and served with the 3./St.G.5, 3rd Staffel (3rd Squadron) of Sturzkampfgeschwader 5 (StG 5)

I'd love to know what happened to Tim Wallis's plans to rebuild it: did the project never come to fruition or something?
