Guys
The Gardermoen Museum has searched the small lake that Knokke bellied on , and there is no 109 , it was recovered at the time.
There is thought to be a early model 109 in mountain lake , and upon confirmation it will be recovered , so maybe one that Eric is talking about.
Also reporeted a few years ago on the Luftwaffe Board that a guy had found a 109 in a small lake , but would not tell authorities where , because he wanted to keep it himself ... not possible under Norwegian law
