Lasse Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Luck would have it that a german Heinkeln 115 has been sleeping at the bottom of the sea just a mile from our local airplane museum! Guess what they pulled from the cockpit! A surprisingly helathy looking MG-15! This has been sitting at the bottom of the sea for 70 years! amazing!

Lasse Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 That is awesome!!!!! Do you get to keep it or are you stuck turning it over? As far as I know it will be restored along with the plane and eventuallu put on display in the museum hangar. Not me in the pic BTW, just some random salvage diver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootch Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Yep very nice discovery. I've been around vintage aircraft my whole life.... well in the beginning of my life they weren't so "vintage" . But yeah!!! Very nice! Congrats to the museum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
