Early 1990s Russian Finds

Does anyone remember back in the early 90s there was an English guy who was travelling around the former USSR and buying up German wrecks. It seemed not one month passed without Airplane Monthly showing a new photo of the chap (Dave something?) with a rare beast. I can recall near perfect examples of 110s, Fw190s, 109s and at least one Ju88 and a Stuka. All were to be restored to flying condition. I haven't brought a mag or been to a warbird show in 10 years, so I've lost touch. Did any of these ever get rebuilt into flying condition. I'd pay anything to see a Stuka in a dive with the sirens blazing for the first time in 67 years.
