Lake Lesjaskog Gladiators

Hi all,

Of all the 263 squadron Gloster Gladiators that were destroyed on Lake Lesjaskog, Norway, relatively few has been recovered. So far the forward fuselage of one now at the RAFM, and an engine if I'm correct. The Gladiator now on display in Norway is another aiframe rescued but during the war and hidden in a barn and is now restored.

A lot of Gladiators were destroyed, am I correct in thinking that there must be more airframes still at the bottom?
