Hello Jim,
Thanks for your kind offer.
The museum has all the information about this particular aircraft including photo's when it was raised and when it was displayed the MACR etc. Very interesting stuff.
In an article of some years ago FlyPast reported that the Swiss gentleman who initiated these recoveries (two B-17's and a Lancaster) didn't stop there. It was also stated that several more aircraft were recovered from Lake Zug (among them a Halifax). Has anyone more information about these recoveries? I do know that the tailturret of the Lanc is still on display somewhere in Switzerland.
Cheers
Cees
