Tirpitz and aircraft remains

Posted by Cees Broere on Sun Mar 10, 2002 09:08:18 PM

Hi all,

Many years ago I read an article in "After the Battle" magazine about a search in a fjord (name unknown) where the Tirpitz had been during the war. While anchored here it was attacked several times by the RAF. Divers went down during the seventies/eighties to look for any remains. It was said that a wing of a Barracuda had been found and some other stuff. I believe that also part of a British one-man submarine was recovered (and now in the IWM?).

Does anyone know if any aircraft bits were recovered?
