Summary
| Description |
During WW2 the water adjacent to what is now Sola airport was used as a seaplane base by the Luftwaffe. On 28th December 1942, a Heinkel He115 of Luftflotte 5 (c/n 2398, coded 8L+FH), crashed and sank while landing. In 2006 the intact remains of the aircraft were located and in June 2012 they were raised and recovered. Except for the floats and the starboard engine the aeroplane was complete and everything recovered was extremely well preserved. It is now under restoration by the Flyhistorisk Museum Sola with the cockpit and nose section being used as a mobile exhibit. Original markings are clearly visible, showing the level of preservation. This amazing relic was on display at the 2017 Sola Airshow, Stavanger Airport, Sola, Norway. 10th June 2017 |
