This Hind was originally 547 with the NVA but became 9639 after German re-unification. It was assigned the serial 9832 when it was transferred to Manching and made its last flight in March 1994. Ownership was then handed over to the Militärhistorisches Museum der Bundeswehr (Museum of German Military History) and it was dismantled and transported by road to the Cottbus Flugplatzmuseum on loan. This loan period has now ended and the Hind is ow on display in the museum grounds in Dresden.

These substantial remains were recovered during excavations for building work in Luqa in February 2023. According to the Malta Aviation Museum, Werk Nummer 8668, which is carried on the wing root, corresponds to a Bf 109F-4/Z of 5/JG3 which crashed during a raid over Malta on April 1st, 1942. Unteroffizier Hans Pilz was at the controls, pursuing an RAF fighter at low level when his Messerschmitt took hits, presumably from ground fire, and bellied in on a farm. Pilz survived the crash relatively unscathed, despite the aircraft flipping on its back; he spent the rest of the war in a POW camp.
