Hmmm Looks like a type 15 Fuze. I’ll get my crabtree bomb defuzer tool and deal with it tomorrow.:D
The great thing about this Dornier is at least it has not been battered by trawl nets over the years. No doubt about it its going to need a very carefully planned recovery, with the use of suction lift pumps and high pressure lances to remove the sand and silt from inside the wings and reduce weight, as well as the outside.
Then I would think lifting bags and many of them with slings carefully placed for a level lift. With a bit of luck the top side of the airoplane could be in remarkable condition having been sealed in the silt. Then the whole aircraft would need to be immersed in fresh water for some considerable time. Similar idea to the Mary Rose project.
Would be a fantastic project, and I hope they do successfully recover it. Would also generate some great public interest.
