As an answer to: Aircraft Wrecks in Northern Norway written by Timothy Smith at 16 May 2003 00:32:21:

There is at least one, IF you are ready to get wet;)
A Short Empire Flying boat, set to fire by German aircraft in may 1940.
It is possible to skin dive at the site,it is only 1-5meters, but the water is quite cold. There is debris in a quite large area around the site.
I happen to live right on spot, and would be happy to guide you.
If you've got a scuba certificate, you will be able to see more of what's left there.
Best wishes, and welcome!
Jon
