Now the work starts.... and an important change!

There are two different topics today. The first is the language. Having received comments from far and abroad, the blog will from now on be in english, readable for more people than norwegian. Soon also the links, side text and a summary of the Black 3 History will be in english also.

Secondly, we will bring attention to some of the work involved. The aircraft salvaged outside Bergen, we for now call it the "blue X" since it probably is from Herdla airfield, but we still have no discernable lettering or serial numbers, is meant to be a source for spare parts for our primary project, the Black 3. Hence the URL of this blog.

For now, we will bring to attention the amount of work that will be needed to make parts from the sea wreck usable for restorational purposes. Here you see 2 pictures, both of them of the breech end of a MG 131. One picture is from the wreck, the other from the Armed Forces Museum collection. Guess which is which??

For anyone trying to restore an old aircraft recovered from the seabed, the amount of work is staggering. But, when finished: very rewarding!
