More Trondheim 'fresh water wrecks' info

Posted by Rob Mears on Fri Jul 12, 2002 07:15:21 PM

I discovered another letter from my acquiantance in Norway. This was written a couple or three years ago, but I'm sure the information is still relevant. I remember the one Ju-88 recovery being publicized with photos recently, but I don't recall if it might have been one of the planes mentioned here. The text reads:


<<Outside of Hommelvik, about 25km. east of Trondheim divers recently found a Fw-200 in the sea. Again it was this diver friend who told about it. This one was also intact he said, with guns and all. It is certanly a machine from KG. 40 as they lost four of them, crashing/ditching into the sea near to Vaernes airfield in the period 42.-44.>>>

Any insight into this situation and/or any promising information about the future of these aircraft? Thanks :)
