He115 / Norway
I hope they find the floats down there too...
Kermit Weeks would no doubt love to have that flying from his lake alongside the Sunderland.

Problems of corrosion and long term preservation after long immersion in even fresh water are frequently discussed in the Bluebird rebuild website Bluebird Project
And of course the Hendon museum Halifax is still said to be quietly crumbling. Hope that the He 115 can be rapidly conserved otherwise all that fantastic paintwork will be the first to vanish

I was working in Stavanger last week and wandered over for a look. The pictures don't do it justice - the paint just looks amazing and the cockpit glazing is very clear indeed. Just hope it gets stabilised soon.
