What is the process they use for freezing?
Also, is there an online translator for Swedish to English?
Thanks!
: Hi,
:
: Some time ago I wrote that the Swedish Air Force would rec
: over a C-47 (TP 79) on signal intelligence gathering missi
: on which was shot down by a Soviet Mig 15 in the 50's.
:
: The aircraft has been recovered from ca 100 meters depth a
: nd the crew is identified etc. What is interesting for a b
: roader audience on this board is the fifth and last photo,
: which shows how a section of the bottom has been frozen,
: so that it can be lifted abord and any pieces etc in the u
: pper 20 cm of the bottom sediment can be recovered for ana
: lysis.
:
: I don't know if this tecnique has been used for recovering
: aircraft before.

: Unfortunately most of the aircraft will probably be scrapp
: ed, some parts being preserved at the Flygvapenmuseum. I d
: on't think that there would be many other countries that w
: ould scrapp their history like this...
