Russian C-47 found after 65 years
The very well preserved remains of C-47-DL, serial number 42-32892, were found recently in Siberia. Although it was a crash-land, and it has been exposed to the elements, the airframe looks very well preserved. I would say it is an "almost beautifully preserved crash". You can see photos of it here: Russian C-47 Dakota Found In Siberia - English Russia

Unreported...officially. But it looks like someone has at least partly stripped it, so someone must have known about it.
Reminds me of the story of the German automated weather station in Labrador, Newfoundland. Weather Station Kurt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It was set up by Germany in WWII and promptly forgotten about for over 40 years. It wasnt *Officially* discovered until 1981, but someone (must likely the aboriginal natives of Labrador) had disturbed the site before then, but never reported it.

Yep! It makes you wonder what else they might have dropped off that no one ever found out about.
I bet Laborador is just full of secret Nazi u-boat pens and rocket bases!
