Title: Northrop N-3 PB wreck discovered
Post by: Angus on August 30, 2002, 04:45:40 AM

Hello there Forum.
Just two days ago this wreck was discovered only a few hundred yards of the shoreline of Reykjavik. I remember that some twenty years ago another wreck was dug out of a muddy riverbed and rebuilt, now in museum somewhere.
This aircraft is a rare one, and all information about it as well as pictures would be appreciated
