Mark,

they look al bit rough around the edges, will they clean up well in the end?

Found a set of wings already?

Cheers

Yes, German VDM propblades (the narrow type) I agree with Creaking Door that it could be from a Bramo 323 (heinkel He115, Dornier 17 perhaps).
The yellow tips are not right,perhaps painted after recovery?

Err… where did it say that in the clip??? If you watched the whole clip it was put down to spatial disorientation…. and the fact two of the engines were feathered…

The female presenter said that amont other things.

Looks like an FN7 taboo track to me,if you could do some working out of what that internal curve diameter is, we could say for sure.

Hi Martin,

Having looked at many pics now I can conclude that it’s a Mk III Stirling taboo track for the FN50 dorsal turret. While cleaning it today strangely roundel blue paint came to light. That puzzles me.

Alloy:
Have you researched into the Loch Ness Wellington? Perhaps you could email me off- line, as I am “connected” to N2980……..

Ht Andywis,

How about a thread about all things that led to the recovery of this amazing aircraft?
When I was on Loch Ness some years ago, I was talking to the captain of the boat about N2980, as he had been a diver during the recovery, while the other were “hunting” for Nessie. My wife thought it was hilarious:p

Is it actually a Spitfire wing? The fourth pic shows a wingrib that doesn’t look like the familiar Spitfire construction.
