Not yet:-)My sisters father in law is involved in the project.I had to ask him about the progress

Nice to read on the website that spare parts are on their way. Can’t wait to see a Starfighter over Scandinavia! 😎

Btw, when I visited Kjeller quite a few years ago they were building a beautiful Farman replica. Is it flying now?

Cool:-)

Any New Pics of the cleaned up FW 190 in process?

I imagine it is slow and a tedious process! Wouldn’t want to take a pressure washer to it! Trying to get the Gunk off without losing the paint (or for that mater-the metal). I also imagine it must smell like low tide something fierce!

Just dip the whole plane in a big vat of Cosmoline-just kind of hard to display that way!

Please find below a link to my revised illustration of the Gelb 16-I have done some tweaks after studying the last batch of photos.

Regards
Chris

My Norwegian is not as good as it should be, but I thought some of you might like a (rough) translation of the linked article.

Rescue of a German fighter aircraft of World War II
A Focke Wulf 190, German fighter from the second world war will be rised from a deapth of 60 meters in the sea outside Sotra in Hordaland.

The Aircraft will be rised on the 1st of November, in an operation that is planned to take five hours.

The aircraft was stationed on the German airfield of Herdla in Asköy, and flew into the sea on 15th of december 1943. The pilot was saved by personel on land.

The first conservation efforts will be carried out at the Naval Base in Haakonsvern, from November until March next year. After that, the aircraft will be moved to Herdla Museum in Asköy, where it will be restored.

More than 20.000 of this aircraft type were built during the Second World War.

Ministry of Sea, civil organizations, private enterprises and enthusiasts have all done their best to help the riseing operation.

Now I stand by, to be shot down in flames by my norwegian friends, for incorrect translation 😮 😀 😀 😀

Pretty good translation 😀

Hi,

They actually did build one called the Graf Zeppelin, although she was never either fully fitted out or commisioned.

She would have carried and air wing of Bf109T (which had an enlarged wing and these aircraft were eventually used in Norway) and JU87 aircraft (I think from memorry the varient was again ‘T’.)

There is an account of the developement of this version of Stuka in Stuka at War published by Ian Allen along with a picture of the afore mentioned carrier.

Hope this helps.

Steve.

In Norway a Me 109T was used against four British Fortresses from 90 Squadron and shoot down a Fortress AN 525 south east of Kristiansand.

LimaNovember, in my car I travelled from Gothenburg to Gardermoen in 4.5 hours (mostly keeping to the speed limits) and Ugglarp is an hour and a half south, total 6 hours, I would think, especially if you call in to my place and have a revitalising cup of coffee!
A Broussard on the other hand should be able to land almost anywhere, there must be a private airstrip near Falkenberg, in fact Svedino himself flew aircraft right up to the museum, I believe. Try contacting Björn Svedfelt at the museum web site contact E-mail address. That’s the way I keep in touch with him.
I would be very pleased to join you if you make the trip.
Enough private chat for now, I am working on Parts 3 and 4 of this report and hope to get them on the thread tonight.

Thanks or tackar for your valuable information.4,5 hours to Gardermoen aint bad at all:-).Your pictures and texts are very good and im really enoyed the reading about the museum.Im responsible for planning activities in WON so a trip to Svedino could be a good alternative.

Thanks again Papa Lima
