Hi all,
We all know the recoveries of Halifaxes W1048 and NA337 which were brought up from Norway. The following aircraft might also be possible candidates for recovery. Which one of you has more information about these wrecks? They crashed during the april 1942 raids on Tirpitz just as W1048.
Halifax W1037, ditched in Trondheim Fjord near Malvik on april 27/28th 1942. It landed intact on the icy waters and sank.
Halifax W7656, ditched in ?sen Fjord, 3 miles off shore at Rokke april 28/29 1942.
Halifax W1053, ditched in Lake Movatnet (other sources report that it crashed on the banks of the lake)also on 28/29 april 1942.
It would be nice to get some more substantial complete airframes up for restoration.
Anyone?
Cees
