Hi Dave!

This is correct.
It was the salvaging team from the Norwegian Armed Forces Museum that told us that at the time .

It has been mentioned in many magazines after the salvage..

They are short on information about what they have found in Jonsvatnet and I am a bit curious about where they have their information from and why it is soo closed for public?
I guess they are afraid of people diving and disturbing the grave, I can relate to that. Jonsvatnet is also the drinking water for Trondheim area and diving/swimming is forbidden..

I guess this is a hard one to confirm...

There are many rumours I am trying to confirm, this is one of them.
A other one is about a BF109 who landed on Jonsvatnet and winged over still not to have been confirmed.

Thanks!

John Fredrik
