Peenemünde Lancaster wreck

Posted by Cees on Mon Jun 03, 2002 06:00:32 AM

Hi all,

I was recently shown a photograph of a lake near Peenem?nde in the middle of which was something sticking out of the water. Looking closer I recognized the centresection of a Lancaster fuselage. Apparently the photo was taken only a few years ago.

I knew that an engine and mounting of a Lancaster was recovered but did not know that such a substantial section was still present in the lake.

Does anyone know more about it, and may I also suggest to one of our Germans contributors to get it out of the lake as soon as possible.

Cheers

Cees
