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.

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.
Infidelz.

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?

My money's on the Focke Wulf

I agree it looks like a 190 to me.

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:

"Looks like a sleeve valve engine as there does not appear to be any push rods."
Agreed. Skua MkII to be precise.

BMW801 has a totally different cylinder head and it is a two row (14Cyl) engine.

just a guess but the prop looks a bit long for a 190

there for a second i thought that was a F4U

Think this topic belongs in the Aces High Bug Reports section of the forum.
Its what happens when you ditch your 190 in the water and goes AFK for too long. The game really should boot you when you have been inactive for that long.
:eek:
-
My bet is a FW also

Um
The 190 has a very prominent cooling fan right behind the propeller that looks like jet turbine blades. There is no way thats a 190.

JU88?

Finaly its a Skua L2896

its not a 190, the prop is way too long and narrow for a 190

:lol i had that same thought
-
Could that belong to a A-20 or Boston III? it is kind of hard to tell how big that is with out having a scale next to it.
-
This is a skua the engine is a dead give away by the 2 ovals at 11 and 1 oclock behind the prop seen in the underwater picture and the picture of it in flight.
