Heinkel He 115 WNr 2398 emerges from the sea near Stavanger
Hi guys!
I just wanted to share the news from Norway this afternoon.
After nearly 70 years at the bottom of the sea, a ultra rare Heinkel He 115 B-C, the iconic Luftwaffe seaplane, has been successfully rescued from the sea.
Lost on December 28th 1942, due to a damaged float (parts of the aircraft, one engine and floats were disassembled before it sank), the 1./906 aircraft has now been taken ashore in astonishing condition.
A million thanks to Arnt-Espen Skipnes for the photos
Regards,
Andreas B
