The Blackburn Skua L2896 rescue mission with NTNU, R/V GUNNERUS
Hi, we found the engine today at 367,5 meters depth with ROV! Pretty fantastic actually! An attempt to raise the engine will be done 17. March
I'm sure ROV video will be uploaded on the net soon.
It seemed like the engine was in good condition. The Engine sat in the mud with its propeller standing whole and right up, pointing to the sky. I saw two or three totally corroded cylinders and two that looked fine. We didn’t have much time to examine the findings, but we recorded the position and will be back in two weeks to fetch it

It was an amazing sight!
