'Yellow 16' recovered today
Hi, guys.
Yellow 16 was recovered today, by a team put together by the 'Workgroup Yellow 16'. I was lucky to be able to participate, and inspect this relic only seconds after it was put down on the deck of a converted ferry used for the recovery. Pls follow the following link to see a photo taken by Olve Dybvig today: http://www.ahs.no/discussion_images/yellow16recovered.jpg Regards, Andreas |

Re: 'Yellow 16' recovered today
Hello Andreas,
Superb picture and she looks to be in great shape , what is the history of her, i can see the hood was jettisoned and the front cowling / weapon cover is missing but no obvious strikes on the wings or this side of the fusalage |

Re: 'Yellow 16' recovered today
Hi, guys.
The full story of this aircraft will be further investigated as soon as the identity can be established beyond any doubt, and publications/press releases will probably come from the workgroup at that time. The aircraft was lost when the pilot was forced to ditch soon after take-off from Herdla airfield, if the identity is what we think, a lot is known about this aircraft. I must admit it is a beautiful start for a project, most markings are intact including a most interesting personal emblem! Regards, Andreas B |

Re: 'Yellow 16' recovered today
A most remarkable discovery, indeed.
Here's my preliminary interpretation of the aircraft, I have yet to incorporate the lack of exhaust flaps, something I expected this aicraft to have! Regards, Kjetil |
