    Default Heinkel 115 salvage

    On the 2 of june we finaly managed to salvage this beautiful airplane from 47m depth in Haffersfjord in Norway
    The plane was untouched by others before we did the first dive in 2005 and since then we have done more than 80 dives preparing the salvage.
    And what a plane
    Working in 1-2m wiz you could not get the full overwiev of the sise.
    but when rised we could se the size

    Freshwater to get the salt and minerals our of the aluminium before it is dried.
    to stop the corrotion between the plates and rivets.
    and a oxygen scavanger will be added to stop new corrotion forming during the prosess.
    Salt and minerals have broken down alot of things from the sea that have not been treated corectly...
