in another lake there are several ju52's in perfect condition. they had to do emergency landings on the lake when they invaded norway. they froze and when spring came and the ice melted they sank and are sitting perfectly on the bottom

i think that is what happened to these planes too

No They were stationed on a frozen lake because their base was not safe. The weather changed and the ice melted. The planes just sank.

Good thing it was freshwater, the interior looks very well preserved. It's noce to save a piece of history for future generations.

It is in remarkably good shape.

The 111 will be sent to a museum in Germany in exchange for an airworthy Starfighter. The ju88 will prolly stay in Norway.

I wonder if all this is a sign that we will get the HE-111 in AH

Probably the only He-111P left in the world.

Those look like Merlins to me ?
