Mysterious plane wreck at 400m
« on: March 19, 2010, 06:19:42 AM »
Them continue to find the plane wreck from World War 2 here in Norway. Those are not quite sure which plane this is, maybe there are some among us fly interested who may have an opinion about which plane this is. Just follow the link and press play on video.
Web page is in Norwegian. Hope you think this is interesting.  :salute

It appears that the aircraft is the type of Blackburn Skua. Was used in an attack on the battle cruiser Scharnhorst.

Nothing says you can't use it, but no one wants to see it.

Looked like a three blade prop, the front of the cowling and a radial engine. I didn't see anything else there that would give me any idea what it was. It could have been part of a single engine aircraft or multi. just not enough information for me.

Looked like a radial to me, almost a Focke Wolfe but I don't believe so.

Looks like a sleeve valve engine as there does not appear to be any push rods.

Gladiator? Swordfish?
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

I agree it looks like a 190 to me.

try this one. http://www.adressa.no/tv/?id=13430

That's no FW - engine itself is far too small for that, and the prop blades too narrow.

Edit - It's a Skua known wreck, most of which has previously been recovered. Link here:
