Hello there!
The only larger part of the Skua recovered was a half
wing in reasonable condition.
The wing went to Bod? museum in Norway where they are restoring a Skua.
We thought that they needed the wing more than we did,
although the aircraft did have a history within the region...
The rest of the Skua was propably shot up to pieces
and gone by now.
Of the Swordfish we found nothing on the island.
The small island it laid on is cleaned up several times.
From a Swedish Caproni we recovered the two main landing gears + a lot of other small parts.
The parts is now mounted on the replica of the Caproni at Malmen RSWAF Museum.
